Partying or raising a child? In 'Club Kid', that dilemma doesn't unfold as you expect

In 'Club Kid', Jordan Firstman's debut film, a gay nightclub promoter faces the challenge of fatherhood while grappling with self-hatred. The film explores themes of maturity and acceptance within a vibrant queer community. Peter, the protagonist, must choose between a life of hedonism and raising his unexpected son, Arlo. The narrative defies expectations, showcasing a nuanced portrayal of personal growth and the impact of relationships. Firstman's direction and personal connection to the queer experience enrich the storytelling, making it both heartwarming and humorous without being moralistic about drugs and partying.
