The first corporate she directed for Nike, which is the daughter of Barack and Michelle Obama, is alleged to have been her copy. Indie director Natalie Jasmine Harris, 27, claims the one-minute area contains images that” shockingly related” to her 2024 little picture” Grace” connection.

A remarkably similar visible that Harris insists she used first in her little picture, well before the Nike campaign, was the scene that caused the controversy.
I’ll admit that at first, I thought Harris was exaggerating because he might have been trying to drive the attention wave by slamming a famous name. It appeared to be a bend.
The side-by-side assessment, however, came up next.  ,
I’m simply going to leave this below.
Second to Malia Obama’s @Nike x  and @_ajawilson22 business, this is my independent short picture,” Grace.”
Although it’s devastating, at least you can ( hopefully ) see that this is about much more than just a pat-a-cake…. picture. twitter.com/71m0H5n84z

There is no sugar coating on it. The resemblance is not simple. It is undisputed.
Harris told Business Insider,” It’s not about the game.” It’s about the visual mediums used to make it look.
Harris noted that there were many professional connections between the camera angles, the shots, the defining scheme, and the colour palette.
” I’m aware that art frequently overlaps, but when you put your heart into telling stories with care and hardly receive the recognition you deserve, it can reach rough.” Why not rent from the cause rather than just for name recognition, she said in a post on X.
Second to a side-by-side assessment of the pictures, she wrote,” It’s devastating.”
Harris claims that she is frustrated with the market rather than Obama herself.
It” speaks to a larger problem of businesses choosing to support people who already have brand recognition, which doesn’t lead to innovative films or unique storytelling,” Harris said.

And Malia Obama can’t just say she’s ignorant. She and Natalie Jasmine Harris met at the Sundance Film Festival next year, where they both competed in movies. Obama made her red-carpet debut after declaring she would drop her prominent final name to avoid being labeled a “nepo baby,” according to Harris, who screened her 14-minute small” Grace.”
Although I would suggest this is unusual, let’s face it, it’s not. The Obama family has a history of theft. Her father, Barack Obama, was again found to have plagiarized a campaign speech, which the advertising largely ignored. Perhaps that’s a part of why he felt so at ease selecting Joe Biden as his working mate. They shared a attitude, more than just a party.
Deval Patrick, the governor of Massachusetts at the time, delivered a remarkable line on the power of words again in 2006:
We believe that all men are created equal, and that these statements are untrue. Only words. We only have words to say that we have little to fear but fear itself. Inquire what you can do for your land instead of asking what it can do for you. Just terms,” I have a wish.”
Fast forward two decades, and Obama’s speech during the 2008 battle sounded oddly common:

Don’t show me that thoughts are irrelevant. I have a vision. Just a few thoughts. We believe that all men are created equal, and that these beliefs are unquestionable. Just a few terms. We only have anxiety in the self-imposed sense. Only thoughts, no remarks.
The resemblance weren’t a coincidence; they were almost literally taken down. Barack Obama, of course, received a move, and I’m confident that Malia will as well.
