And the actor and writer has made one in deciding to retire his musical alter ego, Childish Gambino. “It’s not fulfilling,” he told the New York Times in a recent interview. Glover has been open in the past about trying to find his tribe in both comedy and music. Two years later, his song “This Is America” became a protest anthem and won him multiple Grammys, including song and record of the year. Around that same time, Glover both lost his father and welcomed his second child, something that made him more reflective.

If you’re a celebrity seeking to rebrand, the Sundance Film Festival can offer a useful assist. From Marvel superheroes seeking an indie turn to teenage movie stars hoping to segue into spicy adult roles, the snowy event is the perfect place to debut a new direction. This year’s big rebrand was so skillfully executed that many people I ran into here at Sundance didn’t even know it had happened at all. If they had, we might have gotten a mob scene at one of the typically sedate short-film showcases, where an 18-minute project called “The Heart” premiered from a fledgling filmmaker credited as Malia Ann, though she’s much better known as Malia Obama, the daughter of the former president. “You’re Obama’s daughter.

This Joey, played by Ephraim Sykes, has a soul, and that soul expresses itself in the deeply rooted sound of Savion Glover’s tap dancing. Frank Sinatra played Joey for the sanitized 1957 film. Revivals at City Center in the 1960s starred Bob Fosse, years before he directed shows like “Chicago” that made Joey’s sleaze into a dominant style.
