RZA, the iconic mastermind behind the Wu-Tang Clan, is making waves in the film industry once again with his latest action thriller, One Spoon Of Chocolate, set to premiere at the Tribeca Festival. RZA not only wrote and directed the film but also brings an impressive cast that includes Shameik Moore, RJ Cyler, and Grammy-winning artist Jason Isbell.
This thrilling narrative follows Unique, a former military convict, as he returns to a seemingly quiet Midwestern town after serving time for a crime he didn’t commit. However, he soon discovers dark secrets lurking beneath the surface, forcing him to confront a racist sheriff and a violent posse.
RZA began working on the screenplay in 2012, inspired by his previous work on The Man with the Iron Fists. After overcoming writer’s block, he found his creative flow while touring with Wu-Tang, allowing the full story to come together. One Spoon Of Chocolate explores themes of personal and community transformation, challenging stereotypes and prompting self-reflection.
Filmmaking is a passion for RZA, who values the collaborative nature of the medium. He believes that film encapsulates all art forms, making it the most satisfying outlet for his creativity. RZA emphasizes the importance of the theatrical experience, noting that films are best enjoyed on the big screen, where their emotional depth can be fully realized.
Produced by RZA Productions and 36 Cinema, One Spoon Of Chocolate promises to blend action with thought-provoking themes, honoring both the legacy of Wu-Tang and the artistry of filmmaking. As the premiere approaches, anticipation builds for this exciting new chapter in RZA’s multifaceted career!
