#JordanFirstman is making waves with #ClubKid, his gloriously gay feature directorial debut that took Cannes by storm, inspired a heated bidding war and landed a $17 million global rights deal with A24.
The movie follows a New York City nightlife promoter whose hard-partying lifestyle is disrupted when a 10-year-old boy shows up at his door claiming to be his son. Rooted in modern queer life, the film explores universal themes of growth, love and belatedly becoming an adult.
“It’s been amazing to see the kinds of people that relate to this film, but it really is a movie about growth,” Firstman tells Variety. “In Telluride, I watched a 75-year-old conservative man leave the theater in tears. Then we took it to the New York Film Festival, which I was very nervous to do, and showed it to the 35-year-olds who do drugs.”
With “Club Kid” instantly solidifying Firstman as a force to be reckoned with, the filmmaker is helping usher in a new wave of queer storytelling — one that is unapologetically gay while resonating with audiences far beyond the LGBTQ+ community.

#JaneFonda champions Democrats and the “blue tsunami” after huge #ElectionDay wins over the Republican Party: “I’m just so proud of American people.”
“We can’t return to the old neoliberalism. We have to take off our corporate hat, take off our donor hat, and start doing things that are going to help working people in this country, and we have to rule with love. We don’t rule yet, but we have to block what’s bad and fight for what’s good. It’s not just about accountability and investigations because there’s so much corruption and criminality, but it also has to be about really putting power in the hands of working people and making life better for them.”

The #StrangerThings prequel series is titled "Other Worlds" and has been ordered to series at Netflix for a 2028 release.
• The prequel takes place in 1955 in Marion, Nevada before the events of "Stranger Things" and "Stranger Things: The First Shadow."
• The Duffer Brothers previously told Variety the spinoff would focus on events prior to Henry Creel being exposed to the otherworldly substance that gave him his powers in "Stranger Things."
• "Other Worlds" is co-created by the Duffer Brothers and "First Shadow" writer Kate Trefry, who will also serve as showrunner. Joe Wright will direct the first three episodes
• "We’ve been dreaming of 'Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure' for many years now, and to see it become a reality is surreal and exhilarating," the Duffers said. "We’re so grateful to our incredible team of collaborators: our showrunner Kate Trefry, who has been in the trenches with us since Season 2 and wrote 'Stranger Things: The First Shadow;' and our director, Joe Wright, a brilliant artist whose work we’ve long admired. We can’t wait for you to see what they’re cooking up. It’s Stranger Things, but also thrillingly fresh, with a new setting, new heroes and villains, and new… actually, we’re not allowed to say any more. Now, on to casting. In the meantime -- watch the skies, nerds!”
