Malia Obama's future in Hollywood is bright.

Swarm star Dominique Fishback recalled working with the budding screenwriter on Donald Glover and Janine Nabers's Amazon Prime Video series during an interview with E! News, raving that Obama, 24, is "so intelligent" and "so cool."

"When we did the mall scene in the first episode, she was there for a while," said Fishback. "We got to talk. We plan on meeting up and chatting and continuing to build our relationship."

She also hopes to collaborate again, adding: "I just want to know what she wants to do next. Maybe we can do something together."

Glover, 39, announced earlier this month that he's helping Malia, the oldest daughter of Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, develop her first short film under his Gilga production banner.

"The first thing we did was talk about the fact that she will only get to do this once," recalled Glover to GQ, noting that he told her: "You're Obama's daughter. So if you make a bad film, it will follow you around."

The Golden Globe winner previously praised Obama's talent in an interview with Vanity Fair after tapping her to share her experiences for Swarm. "She's just like, an amazingly talented person," he said last March. "She's really focused, and she's working really hard."

Nabers said she wanted Obama "to get her feet wet" in the writers' room after she previously interned on Lena Dunham's Girls and for the Weinstein Company, in addition to working as a production assistant on Halle Berry's CBS sci-fi drama series Extant.

"[The main characters of the show] are in their 20s and Malia is in her 20s, so it was really great having someone like her in the room," Nabers said, adding: "She's a very professional person. She's an incredible writer and artist."

She explained, "We really wanted to give her the opportunity to get her feet wet in TV and see if this is something she wants to continue doing."
