Jordan Firstman shot the opening club scene of his debut feature, “Club Kid,” at Market Hotel, the Myrtle-Broadway music venue in Bushwick, and built the rest of the A24 film around real New York nightlife events and downtown locations, Time Out reported. The movie opened in limited release in U.S. theaters Friday, November 6.

Firstman wrote, directed and stars in the film as Peter, a washed-up club promoter forced into fatherhood when he takes in Arlo (Reggie Absolom), the nine-year-old son he did not know he had, Time Out reported. The pair bond over SoHo breakfasts, record shopping and DJ gigs as Peter’s drug-fueled nightlife past lingers behind him.

In the film, Market Hotel stands in for a fictional Bushwick nightspot called Club Labor, the “It” club where Peter, his fellow promoter Sophie (Cara Delevingne) and their friends go for a night of house music, according to Time Out. The scene features cameos from New York nightlife figures including Amanda Lepore, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” contestant Kandy Muse and trans drag queen Linux, Time Out reported, with actors Alaska Riley, Benny Jean Pierce and Saturn Risin9 playing Peter’s friends.
