Reboot Studios, the production arm of the nonprofit Reboot, co-founded by Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw’s Righteous Persons Foundation, has announced a major expansion into feature filmmaking with the launch of its 2026 Creator Fund slate.
Comprising nine diverse projects spanning narrative and documentary film, theater, audio, and interactive media, this year’s lineup represents the studio’s most ambitious effort to date to bring authentic, high-quality Jewish storytelling into the mainstream cultural conversation.
The expanded lineup is anchored by Juice Cleanse, Reboot Studios’ first original original feature film. Directed by Shoshana Ehrenkranz, the horror-comedy offers a subversive exploration of diet culture and spiritual commodification through the lens of an underrepresented Mizrahi Jewish community.
The film slate also includes Keeping Up with the Siegfrieds, a gripping documentary investigation by Dani Faith Leonard into America’s historical Nazi movement, and Father Figures, an intimate feature documentary from filmmaker Emma D. Miller exploring family reconciliation and Jewish masculinity.
In addition to feature-length projects, the 2026 slate showcases innovative storytelling across multiple platforms. Highlights include Saba, a gravity-defying animated short by DreamWorks veteran Liron Topaz that recently featured at the Tribeca Film Festival, and Triple Mitzvah, a sex-positive short comedy directed by Nico Opper. The lineup is completed by experimental stage productions like The Goat Exchange’s Deadclass, Ohio and Sharone Sayegh’s solo play The Goldsmith, alongside digital media projects including the ancestral wisdom podcast Alef Bet and the World War II-inspired documentary video game Normandie.
Following the recent commercial success of studio-backed hits like Broadway’s Just for Us, Reboot Studios continues to leverage its fund to provide financing and strategic partnerships that elevate culturally specific narratives to global platforms.
