One Spoon of Chocolate, the feature film directed by rapper, actor, director, and record producer RZA will make its world premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival.

The film stars Shameik Moore (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Dope), Paris Jackson, RJ Cyler (The Harder They Fall), Harry Goodwins (The Gentlemen), Johnell Young (Wu-Tang: An American Saga), Michael Harney (The Iron Claw), Rockmond Dunbar (9-1-1, Prison Break), E’myri Crutchfield (Dark Harvest, Fargo), Blair Underwood (Origin) and Grammy winning country star Jason Isbell (Killers Of The Flower Moon).

Set against the backdrop of a quiet Southern town, One Spoon of Chocolate follows a former military convict who, upon relocating from the city, finds love, danger, and more trouble than he ever bargained for.

“It’s an honor to be premiering my new film One Spoon of Chocolate at the Tribeca Film Festival,” said RZA. “As a native New Yorker, I’ve attended Tribeca and enjoyed some great cinematic & cultural moments. It’s a pure delight that I get to share my 4th and boldest film with their amazing audience. New York, let’s bring da motherfuckin ruckus. Bong Bong.”

Shot on location in Atlanta, Georgia, the film was penned by RZA and produced alongside Paul Hall (White Men Can’t Jump, Shaft). Executive producers include Talani Diggs, Mitchell Divine Diggs, and Joe Genier (Bigger).

“I’ve had the honor of telling a lot of powerful stories over the years, but One Spoon of Chocolate hits different,” added producer Paul Hall. “RZA brought something fearless to the table, and it was a thrill helping bring that vision to life. Premiering at Tribeca, the heart of New York, feels like the perfect stage for this moment. This one’s special.”

One Spoon of Chocolate is a collaboration between RZA Productions, 36 Cinema, and Xen Diagram Media (XDM).
