While her parents enjoy a vacation on Richard Branson's private island, former first daughter Malia Obama is hard at work at the Weinstein Company - where she started an internship this week.

The 18-year-old daughter of former president Barack Obama started her internship on Monday, and sources tell TMZ that her work at the film company will be reading and pitching scripts to executives.

Photos of the aspiring filmmaker show her arriving at work early Wednesday morning for her third day in the New York offices, wearing high-waisted jeans, a crop top, a sheepskin jacket and boots to keep warm in the freezing temperatures.

Sources tell TMZ that Malia started her internship on Monday. She is said to be working in the production and development department

During her internship, Malia will reportedly be reading scripts and pitching them to executives

Malia appears to be an aspiring filmmaker. She previously interned on the set of the HBO series Girls.

Later in the day, she was seen gabbing with a co-worker after stepping out to Whole Foods to pick up lunch.

While many internships involve menial work, like getting coffee, the sources that spoke with TMZ said the Weinstein's program is not at all like that.

Malia is working in the production and development department, reading scripts and deciding which are worth pitching to executives - such as Harvey Weinstein - to put into development. The internship will run through the spring and pays around $9 an hour.

This isn't the first time that Obama's oldest daughter has scoped a career in filmmaking. In the summer of 2015, she interned on the set of the HBO series Girls.

Before starting her internship this week, Malia attended the Sundance Film Festival

Malia graduated from high school last spring, but she's currently taking a gap year before starting at Harvard next fall.

Her parents have moved from the White House into another home in Washington, DC so that younger sister Sasha can finish high school.

The Weinstein Company is known for prestige pictures that garner attention during awards season such as Django Unchained, Silver Linings Playbook, The King's Speech and most recently Lion.
