AceShowbiz - Malia Obama is slowly making her way into Hollywood. The 25-year-old has made red carpet debut at the Sundance Film Festival to attend the premiere of her short film "The Heart", which she wrote and directed.
The eldest daughter of former U.S. President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama stepped out solo on Thursday night, January 18. She was all smiles while posing on the black carpet at the Prospector Square Theatre in Park City, Utah ahead of a screening of her new project.
Malia looked chic in a wool gray coat atop a loose button-down shirt in lighter color and a pair of jeans. She made sure to keep herself warm amid the chilly temperatures by adding a gray scarf and a pair of chunky platform boots.
Her long red hair was let loose and hang on her shoulders as it was styled in loose waves. She appeared to wear minimal makeup with a swipe of nude lipstick for a natural look.
"The Heart" will be screened as part of the short fiction films category at the annual festival. In a video for the film from Sundance, Malia describes it as "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 and forgiveness and regret, but I also think it works hard to uncover where tenderness and closeness can exist in those things," she adds. "We hope you enjoy the film and it makes you feel a bit less lonely, or at least reminds you not to forget about the people who are."
"The Heart" was previously screened at Telluride, as well as the Chicago International Film Festival, where it was recognized in the best live action short category.
Malia previously worked as a writer on satirical comedy horror thriller miniseries "Swarm", which was co-created and produced by Donald Glover.
