On the evening of January 18th local time, Malia Obama appeared on the "red carpet" of the Sundance Film Festival. Although she was once the richest daughter in the United States, this time Maria met the public as a director.
The short film "the heart," which she directed, had its Sundance Film Festival premiere at the Prospector Square Theater in Park City, Utah.
The film has previously been screened at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado and the Chicago International Film Festival, but Maria has not publicly identified herself as the director.
Maria, with long reddish-brown hair, stood happily with the cast and crew. Her height advantage of nearly 1.85 meters made her stand out in the crowd.
Relatively speaking, the 25-year-old Maria is still dressed appropriately. At the same time, she has not lost her sense of fashion, and she also highlights her long legs.
According to reports, Maria's debut short film centers on a grieving son who receives a deathbed request from his late mother.
"The film is about lost objects, lonely people, forgiveness and regret, but I also think it's not an easy thing to reveal the tenderness and intimacy that exists between these things," Maria said in an interview "We hope you enjoy this movie and that it will make you feel less lonely, or at least remind you not to forget those who are lonely," she said.
Maria did not sign her last name in the film, but wrote A name like "Maria Ann", her first name + middle name.
Maria, who made her debut as a director, looked very excited and was smiling from ear to ear throughout the premiere. At the same time, she also let people see her too-high hairline, which made her already big forehead look even wider.
Maria is the eldest daughter of former US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama. She graduated from Harvard University. She was previously thought to be a film and television screenwriter, and the series "Swarm" she served as co-writer was aired on the streaming channel in March last year.
Some comments said that Maria's involvement in the film and television industry feels a bit like "inheriting the family business" because her parents founded a media company after leaving the White House, and have been involved in everything from starting podcasts to producing TV series and movies. On the one hand, it is to accumulate more wealth, and on the other hand, it is to expand influence. And from now on, it seems that they have also paved a way for their daughter, which is really "killing two birds with one stone".
It is still unknown to what extent Maria's career will develop in the future, but it is not an easy task to create a name in Hollywood. After all, there are so many talents there. If you don't have real ability, you can only rely on "the former president's daughter" "I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything with your status.
But according to janine nabers, the producer of the short film "Heart", Maria was a very dedicated person and also considered her an "incredible writer". Although there may be a degree of flattery in it, Maria must also work very hard and will not just rely on her parents.
