First Lady Melania Trump has announced the launch of her production company, Muse Films, via her official social media channels. The move coincides with the upcoming release of a documentary about her life, titled Melania, directed by Brett Ratner. The film, produced by Amazon MGM Studios, will premiere in theaters on January 30 before streaming on Prime Video.
Production Company Announcement
Melania Trump revealed the formation of Muse Films on November 28, 2025, sharing a motion video of the company logo on her social media accounts. The name 'Muse' references her Secret Service code name during Donald Trump's first term as president. This launch marks Trump's entry into film production while serving as First Lady, drawing comparisons to Barack and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground Productions, which debuted after his presidency and earned an Oscar for American Factory in 2022.
