The trailer for One Spoon of Chocolate—written and directed by RZA—introduces a deeply personal coming-of-age story spanning the 1980s and ’90s. Set in Staten Island, the film follows young Divine (Shameik Moore) and his younger brother, Troy, as they navigate tragedy, hip-hop dreams, and fractured family dynamics over ten years.

Opening with grainy footage and raw voiceover, the trailer quickly immerses viewers in a world shaped by loss and creativity. We watch Divine wrestle with grief, look after his brother, and fall in love with music as a form of resistance. The film’s visual palette—earthy, warm, and nostalgic—evokes memory as much as it tells a story. RZA’s direction blends soulful introspection with an unfiltered view of growing up Black in 1990s New York.

Produced by Sphere Films and premiering at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival, One Spoon of Chocolate promises a tender and urgent exploration of manhood, culture, and healing.
