In 2002, Hamze travelled to New York City where she attended film making classes at Columbia University. There she acted in the short student film "The Park" directed by Nadine Khouri.

In 2005, Hamze returned to Beirut with her MA from London and directly started giving courses in acting, editing and
After her MA from London, Hamze is credited for taking on the most challenging daring roles throughout the Middle East. Consistently ranked among the region's highest paid actors in 2016, she is best known for her hit movies "The Book of Law" (2009), "Beirut Hotel" (2011), "Single, Married, Divorced- Yalla A’belkon" (2015), "Halal Love" (2016), and "Nuts" (2017).[4] She has won many local and international acting awards, including Japan's Audience Award in Fukuoka Film Festival 2016 for her starring role in film "Halal Love", and the Best Actress Award from Algeria's Oran International Film Festival 2017 for her starring role in film "NUTS".
In 2016 she founded an entertainment production company, which she currently runs, and has since produced several films, documentaries and ads while continuing to support freedom of speech, youth for arts not war, and help the new generation accept their voices, talents by empowering young girls and to thrive and achieve their full potential.
International film acting career
Credited as one of the best Arab actresses for taking on challenging and complex roles in different dialects and languages throughout the region, her international film career began in 2009 starring in a big Iranian acclaimed feature film The Book of Law - Ketabe Ghanoon, co-starring legendary Iranian movie star Parviz Parastui and directed by Maziar Miri, in which Hamze studied intensive Persian dialect for it. The film had some controversy at first for criticizing the way Islam was being practiced erroneously in certain societies in Iran but was later on accepted as a smart amusing self-critiquing social romantic comedy and was a big hit and has since become a cult-underground film.
Her next unique role was in 2011's French/Lebanese controversial film Beirut Hotel opposite French actor Charles Berling, directed by Danielle Arbid, which made a huge controversy because of its political sub-text and explicit scenes.[5] Hamze took on the challenge this time to portray (Zoha) a wild romantic alternative singer that falls in love with a French spy. Hamze practiced her French and even took singing classes which made the film's soundtrack, with her voice, a hit. But the film was banned in Lebanon due to suggestive scenes depicting the Lebanese government as covering up some kind of information regarding the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafic Hariri.[5] However, the film aired in France and Germany on Arte, and Hamze was bombarded by opposing opinions for playing such a daring role. She was praised by the liberal audiences and out-shun by conformists in a number of Arab societies, for playing the French audacious role.
In 2016 Hamze first came to the attention of the American audiences with her performance in the German/Lebanese film
