Reboot Studios, the production arm of the nonprofit Reboot co-founded by Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw’s Righteous Persons Foundation, 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.

When Noam Dromi attended Limmud, the sprawling UK festival of Jewish learning and culture, he encountered a Jewish world that refused simplification. Learning and argument, music and prayer, identity and contradiction all coexisted in the same space. It offered a lived answer to a question that has been sitting with him for some time: what does Jewish cultural life look like when it refuses to flatten itself?

That experience sharpened a tension Dromi has been grappling with in his work as Managing Director of Reboot Studios. While Jewish life on the ground is messy, plural, and expansive, Jewishness in film and media is too often sanded down in the name of “universality.” His work is not simply about telling more Jewish stories, but about expanding what Jewish stories are allowed to be — moving beyond Holocaust-only narratives, Ashkenazi default settings, or Jewishness reduced to background texture.

He left Limmud convinced of something essential: there is an audience for complexity. Not a niche audience. A human one. Read more in “The Jew-Shaped Hole: What Gets Lost When Jewish Stories Try to Be Universal.”
