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.

Legacy Projects

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.

What Makes a Story Jewish? Inside The Legend of Juan Jose Mundo

What makes a story Jewish? Is it the characters, the subject, the person telling it, or something harder to define: a sensibility, a joke, a question, a detail that feels unmistakably familiar? The film, The Legend of Juan Jose Mundo, now available to rent on Prime Video and Apple TV, is a vibrant coming-of-age story about first love, teenage obsession and identity in 1980s New York that offers an unexpected way into that conversation. Jewishness isn’t always at the center of the frame, but when it surfaces, it reveals something about how culture and identity find their way into the stories we tell. Reboot’s Tanya Schevitz sat down with director and writer Mike Walker, writer Susan Gomes and star Anna Mirodin to talk about the film and the many ways a story can be Jewish without announcing itself as one. Read the interview or watch the Q&A.
