Underscoring that there is no singular way to “look Jewish” or “be Jewish,” Reboot Studios collaborated with Paramount Global on This is What Jewish Looks Like, a video short for Jewish American Heritage Month that celebrates the rich tapestry of Jewish identity. The visual techniques in the piece challenge stereotypes and preconceived notions of identity, especially important at a time when tensions are high among American Jews. Photographer Brian Molyneaux captured portraits of individuals who identify as Jewish, highlighting the rich diversity within the Jewish community across various dimensions such as age, gender and race. See the video short here.

That’s the question at the heart of The Anne Frank Gift Shop, a dark Reboot Studios comedy short by writer Mickey Rapkin (Pitch Perfect) about antisemitism that packs a vital and timely message. The film, shortlisted for the best live action short category for the 96th Academy Awards, will start streaming on June 12, Anne Frank’s birthday, on ChaiFlicks, the world’s leading streaming platform dedicated to Jewish content. In the film, a team of designers is tasked with rebranding the Anne Frank House gift shop.
