S.E.L.L.A’s Kitchen, is a coming of age family drama based on a screenplay written by Ralph Anthony (Boston2Philly).

The family friendly film stars (casting) as Marley aka S.E.L.L.A, a 16 year-old Hip Hop junkie and food prodigy living in the famous Hip Hop mecca, the boogie down Bronx, discovers he has a talent for cooking that far exceeds the droves of fans in his neighborhood.

Soon he finds himself enthralled in a vicious competition and under the tutelage of a mysterious teacher with a heavy accent, volatile personality and a culture far different than anything Sella's ever known.

Through their differences, shared hardships and mutual love for food, a bond is formed by this unlikely pair and a young city slick unaware of his intense talent and a retired world renown chef far removed from his hay day, find themselves in the same kitchen, at the same time and unclear weather it's coincidence or destiny.

Story-lines deal with the culture clash between the world of which Sella' lives in with his family and the shallow, materialistic, and closed-minded community in which the restaurant and food community reside.

The film itself includes elements of core family values, extensive history regarding hip hop music, post modern day racism and functions as a mixture of melodrama, artistic cinema and comedy.

" Food is an expression of art and different cultures. The kitchen is the studio, the pots and pans the instruments, the hands the lyrics and the outcome- Hip Hop." -Ralph Anthony Celestin
