[April 16, 2025 — New York, NY] Rapper, actor, director, and record producer RZA returns to the director’s chair with his latest feature film, One Spoon of Chocolate, which will make its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 8, 2025. The festival runs June 4–15, 2025, in New York City.

“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 and 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.”

“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.”
