Malia Obama is reaching a major milestone in her film career.
The oldest daughter of Barack Obama and Michelle Obama is getting ready to develop her very own project — a short film that will be released under Donald Glover's new production company Gilga.
The Golden Globe winner, 39, shared the upcoming debut with GQ and recalled an early conversation between him and Malia, 24.
"The first thing we did was talk about the fact that she will only get to do this once," he said in the article published on Tuesday, adding that he told her, "You're Obama's daughter. So if you make a bad film, it will follow you around."
Fam Udeorji, a creative partner at Gilga, also told the men's fashion publication, "Understanding somebody like Malia's cachet means something. But we really wanted to make sure she could make what she wanted—even if it was a slow process."
He added, "It's more about diversity of thought than just, like, diversity for optics. You know what I mean?"
Malia and Glover are no strangers to working together. The former first daughter is already making her mark on Glover's Amazon Prime Video series Swarm, which premiered on March 17.
Despite the show being her first major TV writing project, Malia already managed to impress industry veterans — namely Glover and his Swarm co-creator Janine Nabers.

“You’re Obama’s daughter...”
exactly ...
What was that about priviledge?
Doing an internship with Harvey Weinstein introduces you to all the right people.
She’s not as fugly as her mother, yet.
But, she’ll get there.
Anyhow, one can bet that she will be a success, no matter what and even if the film stinks to high-hell. She won’t be allowed to fail, and she’ll get the same kid-gloves treatment from the media as Biden and his son.
Failure is not an option, if you’re Obama’s daughter.
Had to look it up but apparently the porn movie awards are called “the Oscars of Porn”.
She will probably get one of those some day.
Another one born on third base and thinks she hit a triple, just like Chelsea.
“Failure is not an option, if you’re Obama’s daughter.”
Or Biden’s son.
Or the Clintons’ daughter.
ROFLOL!!!
I bet she’s as talented a film maker as Hunter is a painter. It’s a very convenient way to funnel graft, bribes and payoffs to their respective crime families.
Is malia hussein & big mike’s foster daughter that hunter was banging?
Those two daughters do no share the same biological parents, IMO. Either Big Mike is not the mother of both....or Ubama is not the father of both.
Have the Obama twins birthed future criminals yet ?
As if they'd let a "bad" film with her name on it out the door. If she can't direct they'll put a real director in to fix her mess.
White privilege.
So is Bill Ayers ghost writing for the 2nd generation now?
Together they look exactly like Martin Nesbitt and Anita Blanchard’s children, if you want to go for the wild conspiracy.
The rent-a-kids are making out like bandits.
