Reboot Studios Expands into Feature Filmmaking
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.

Sukkah City
In 2010, Reboot launched an architectural design competition and work of installation-art titled Sukkah City. More than 600 entries were received, and a panel of architects and art critics selected a dozen winners. The 12 pieces were constructed in Union Square Park in New York City for a three-day celebration. Sukkah City has inspired a movement of experimental Sukkah projects around the globe, from San Diego to Sydney, from St. Louis to Toronto. Now, for the first time, Reboot and Sukkah City project creators have a set of materials that can help future creatives and communities who want to create their own version of Sukkah City.

Bloody Murray: Stav Idisis on Love, Friendship and Letting Go of the Timeline
Reboot spoke with Stav Idisis about her show, Bloody Murray, a light-hearted, witty take on the romantic comedy that has become a huge hit in Israel and is now streaming in America on ChaiFlicks. The series follows Murray, a cynical film lecturer in her mid-30s who teaches romantic comedies but cannot quite make romance work in her own life. When her best friend and roommate Dana falls for a man Murray accidentally hit with her car and flees, Murray slowly convinces herself that he may actually be meant for her. It is a sharp, funny, contemporary comedy about friendship, work, romance, family pressure and the gap between the lives people imagine for themselves and the lives they actually end up living. Watch the interview or read the transcript.
