Jordan Firstman's 'Club Kid' hitting the prestigious Telluride Film Festival and potentially making a splash at the Oscars is a big deal, especially considering it's his directorial debut.

If the film continues to garner buzz and praise, it's likely that we'll see it on several award nomination lists. The film's success could also pave the way for Firstman's future projects and establish him as a rising talent in the industry.
