Saba. Such is Life: A short film

Reboot Studios, the production arm of the nonprofit Reboot is expanding its feature filmmaking ambitions with the 2026 Creator Fund slate: nine new projects spanning narrative and documentary film, theater, audio and interactive media. Anchored by the studio’s first original feature film, a satirical horror-comedy feature about a Mizrahi Jewish girl and a mysterious juice cleanse and an animated short that premiered at Tribeca about a boy and his grandfather living in a world where gravity is reversed, the slate reflects a new generation of Jewish storytelling moving across genres and platforms. Together, the projects underscore Reboot Studios’ commitment to work that is formally adventurous, culturally specific and built to reach audiences far beyond traditional Jewish spaces.

In a new opinion piece for eJewishPhilanthropy, Reboot Studios Managing Director and Executive Producer Noam Dromi argues that short films are one of the most overlooked yet powerful investments in the future of Jewish culture. While often viewed as stepping stones to larger projects, short-form storytelling provides an essential space for emerging artists to experiment, take creative risks, and bring new perspectives into the cultural conversation. By supporting shorts, funders can help cultivate the next generation of Jewish storytellers, expand the range of voices represented on screen, and build a stronger ecosystem for contemporary Jewish creativity.

We Should Eat humorously touches on age-old familial irritations with Jewish mothers, the intricacies of raising pre-teen daughters, existential dread and of course, the perpetual struggle to figure out what to order for dinner. The film stars Alysia Reiner (Orange Is the New Black), Tovah Feldshuh (Nobody Wants This), Jackie Hoffman (Only Murders in the Building), Joel de la Fuente (Walking Dead), Bob Ari (Law and Order SVU) and Lexi Perkel (Sack Lunch Bunch). Written and directed by Shaina Feinberg and produced with Reboot Studios. Learn more about We Should Eat here.
