\n\tJordan Firstman<\/a> has just wrapped production on his feature directorial debut.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe internet-born multihyphenate, currently starring in HBO\u2019s just-renewed \u201cI Love L.A.,\u201d will write, direct and star in \u201cClub Kid\u201d from Topic Studios. Set in New York City, the film follows a washed-up underground party promoter whose life takes an unexpected turn when he\u2019s forced to look after a son that he never knew he had.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor his first big foray into film, Firstman has recruited model-turned-actor Cara Delevingne<\/a> (\u201cAmerican Horror Story,\u201d \u201cSuicide Squad\u201d), Diego Calva<\/a> (\u201cBabylon,\u201d \u201cOn Swift Horses\u201d) and Eldar Isgandarov as costars. Newcomer Reggie Absolom will play the titular kid.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe project also marks the first big effort from \u201cAnora\u201d producer Alex Coco, in the months following an historic Oscar night for the Sean Baker and Mikey Madison dramedy. Coco will produce \u201cClub Kid\u201d with Galen Core (\u201cPet Shop Days,\u201d \u201cLurker\u201d). Firstman, Olmo Schnabel and Daniela Taplin serve as executive producers. Topic financed the project with Stay Gold. UTA Independent Film Group is handling worldwide sales. More artistic cred: Firstman shot the film in 35mm, with cinematographer Adam Newport Berra (who just won an Emmy for \u201cThe Studio\u201d).<\/p>\n

\n\tFirstman\u2019s acting credits have mounted in recent years, including two seasons of FX\u2019s \u201cThe English Teacher and \u201cI Love L.A..\u201d Earlier this year, he released his debut comedy concept album \u201cSecrets\u201d via Capitol Records. The record was inspired by his viral Instagram series where strangers submitted their deepest confessions and Firstman turned them into songs. On the film side, he was praised for a strong debut in Sebasti\u00e1n Silva\u2019s 2023 Independent Spirt Award-nominated \u201cRotting in the Sun.\u201d Firstman also has writing credits on \u201cSearch Party,\u201d \u201cThe Other Two\u201d and \u201cBig Mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n
