    Lauren Cohen on the Miami Film Festival, AI & The Future of Cinema
    Apr 2 2026
    Lauren Cohen, Director of Programming for the Miami Film Festival, joins Dope Interviews for a deep conversation on film, culture, and the evolving entertainment landscape. She breaks down her journey from Miami native to leading one of the country’s most respected festivals, and explains what really goes into selecting over 150 films from thousands of submissions.

    Lauren also talks about the importance of international storytelling, how the festival creates real community experiences, and why not every great film makes the final cut. The conversation also explores the growing role of AI in film — both as a tool and as a theme — and what it means for creators moving forward. A must-listen for filmmakers, creatives, and anyone who loves movies beyond the surface.

    Daniel Benhamu on Betting on Himself & Turning Hammer & Nails Into a Community Brand
    Feb 26 2026
    Daniel Benhamu didn’t just open a barbershop — he built an experience. In this episode of Dope Interviews, Daniel shares his journey from working in film production to becoming a franchise owner of Hammer & Nails in Davie, Florida. After navigating SBA loan rejections, industry uncertainty, and a major career pivot, he created a premium men’s grooming space centered on community, self-care, and entrepreneurship. We discuss:
    • The realities of franchise ownership
    • Why men need a “third space” beyond work and home
    • Premium pricing vs. value perception
    • Building a team that reflects the community
    • Betting on yourself when no one else does
    A powerful conversation for entrepreneurs, creatives, and anyone ready to pivot into ownership.
