  DAY 7 at Tribeca Film Festival  The MICA Scoop team and I had the privilege of covering the red carpet and attended the world premiere of “One Spoon Of Chocolate,” an action thriller written and directed by the multifaceted, RZA,  musician, composer, actor, filmmaker, record producer, and mastermind behind hip hop’s iconic Wu-Tang Clan. RZA played Robert Fitzgerald Diggs, a former military convict.  Fans of the movie Sinners will undoubtedly appreciate this film. One Spoon Of Chocolate boasts an impressive cast, including Shameik Moore (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Dope), RJ Cyler (The Harder They Fall), Harry Goodwins (The Gentlemen), Johnell Young (Wu-Tang: An American Saga, GZA), 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).
