Malia Obama Omits Last Name While Premiering Her Short Film at the Sundance Film Festival

The daughter of former president Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama debuted her movie ‘The Heart’ with a stage name.

Malia’s 18-minute short film was produced by Donald Glover ’s production company, Gilga, and is described as “an odd little story, somewhat of fable, abut a man grieving the death of his mother after she leaves him an unusual request in her will,” according to E! Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images“But I also think it works hard to uncover where tenderness and closeness can exist in these things,” she reportedly said in the “Meet the Artist” spotlight clip, adding that she hopes watching her movie would “you feel a bit less lonely, or at least reminds you not to forget about the people who are.” During his 2022 Vanity Fair interview, the Solo: A Star Wars Story actor, 40, praised Malia and noted that she wasn’t given special treatment on the set of Swarm for being an Obama.
