About Us
Reboot is an arts and culture non-profit that reimagines and reinforces Jewish thought and traditions, offering an inviting mix of discovery, experience and reflection. Through Reboot Studios, our media investment and development arm, we fund and produce projects in television, film, theater, podcasts, music, publishing and beyond. We also provide a variety of educational experiences and resources connected to the arts. We have launched more than 40 projects in the past three years that have engaged more than 30 million participants. In the past year, these projects have also won broad acclaim, playing at dozens of film festivals, winning Emmy and Tony awards, and being shortlisted for an Oscar. Recent projects supported by Reboot include Alex Edelman’s Emmy and Tony award-winning Just For Us, now streaming on Max after an acclaimed Broadway run last summer co-produced and funded by Reboot Studios, and the Oscar shortlisted film The Anne Frank Gift Shop from Mickey Rapkin and produced by Reboot Studios.
Reboot has served as a creative consultant on projects by leading media platforms, including Paramount, Searchlight Pictures, Nickelodeon and HBO. Reboot Studios was recognized by the Television Academy as a leading authority on Jewish representation in its Expert Index for Storytellers, acknowledging Reboot’s dedication to authentic and diverse narratives.
Our year-round activities are supported by an annual tentpole event—the Reboot Summit, a closed gathering that convenes a diverse group of prominent Jewish change agents in an intellectually-provocative environment that inspires them to discover new ways to engage with their Judaism.
Founded by Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw’s Righteous Persons Foundation and the Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies, Reboot has spent more than 20 years building a network of world-class creatives and leaders.
