Rawaf Alhasan
Rawaf Alhasan’s name pops up in the credits for Midas Man (2024), and honestly, that’s a pretty cool flex. The film dives into the wild, glitzy world of Brian Epstein—the legendary guy who basically plucked The Beatles out of obscurity and launched them into superstardom. It’s not just about rock ‘n’ roll, though. There’s all this drama simmering beneath the surface: ambition, betrayal, loneliness, and yeah, a whole lot of ego. The story follows Epstein maneuvering through the British music business in the swinging sixties, schmoozing with everyone from industry sharks to starry-eyed kids hoping for their big break. There’s a real sense of pressure mounting on Brian’s shoulders as he tries to juggle his personal life, his sexuality (in a time when it was still very much taboo), and the relentless circus of fame surrounding The Beatles.
You get this whirlwind tour of iconic moments—smoky clubs, frantic phone calls, deals made and broken in flashy hotel lobbies. The stakes keep getting higher, and so does the emotional toll. Midas Man doesn’t sanitize anything; it gets into the messiness of Epstein’s world, his vices, the heartbreak, and his relentless drive. It’s got that bittersweet edge, where even the highest highs have shadows lurking underneath. Alhasan’s involvement brings fresh energy to the cast, and the film itself pulses with nostalgia and grit, refusing to let you look away from the price of chasing—and catching—legendary success.
