Former first daughter Malia Obama walked her very first red carpet in honor and in celebration of her directorial debut.
On Jan. 18, 2024, the 25-year-old daughter of former President Barack Obama attended the 2024 Sundance Film Festival premiere of her first movie The Heart, which she both wrote and directed.
In a video posted by Sundance about the short film, Obama described the project as “an odd little story, somewhat of a fable, about a man grieving the death of his mother after she leaves him an unusual request in her will.”
“The film is about lost objects, and lonely people, forgiveness and regret," she added. "But I also think it works hard to uncover where tenderness and closeness can exist in these things."
