Tribeca Film Festival 2025: Music Superstars RZA and Anderson Paak Bring Films to the Spotlight
The Tribeca Film Festival 2025, taking place from June 4 through June 15, will highlight two of music biggest stars who have movies they directed coming to the event.
Wu Tang Clan’s RZA is premiering his film “One Spoon of Chocolate,” while Anderson Paak makes his directorial debut with the movie “K Pops!”
Anderson Paak directs and stars in “K-Pops!”
Musician BJ (Anderson .Paak) dreams of superstardom, but first he needs a new job. After his friend Cash (Jonnie “Dumbfoundead” Park) calls in a favor, BJ is on a one-way flight to South Korea to play drums for the popular singing competition show Wildcard. Armed with a few words of Korean and unshakeable charisma, BJ sets out on a mission to impress presumed frontrunner Kang (Kevin Woo) in order to revive his career. But when he learns that his long-lost son (Soul Rasheed) is a fellow contestant, will BJ choose family over fame?
The movie stars Paak, his real life son Soul Rasheed, Yvette Nicole Brown with cameos by iShowSpeed, The Rose, Diplo, Jaden Smith and Earth, Wind & Fire.
Shameik Moore stars in “One Spoon of Chocolate” directed by RZA
After serving his country in the Army, Unique (Shameik Moore) was falsely accused of assault and sent to prison. Now that his sentence is over, Unique sets up shop in Ohio to restart his life, linking up with his only surviving relative Ramsey (RJ Cyler). There’s something insidious happening in this town, though, via its racist sheriff and his crew of similarly bigoted acolytes, all of whom have a knack for violence and share a gruesome secret pertaining to missing young Black men. When they set their sights on Unique and turn his life upside down, the former soldier has no choice but to bring the ruckus down on the sheriff and his goons. Hell hath no fury like a veteran scorned (and armed with a sword).
The movie stars Shameik Moore, Blair Underwood, RJ Cyler, Paris Jackson, Emyri Crutchfield, Michael Harney, and Harry Goodwins.
