Tabooma

Tabooma is an independent boutique film production studio focused on character-driven narrative features. Its creative work centres on original content development and genre storytelling, particularly science-fiction projects that pair contemporary visual sensibilities with classic filmmaking traditions.

The studio entered the feature-film landscape through its involvement in Xeno (2025), a science-fiction adventure produced by Hartbeat Productions in association with Tabooma and The Jim Henson Company. Written, directed, co-produced and edited by Matthew Loren Oates, the film follows a young protagonist’s encounter with an alien creature and received a theatrical release through Blue Fox Entertainment.

Tabooma’s next feature, Dark Light, is a science-fiction thriller written and directed by Oates. The project moved into production in late 2025, with location filming in Ferndale and Humboldt County, California. Together, these productions reflect the company’s interest in original, filmmaker-led genre films with an emphasis on emotional narrative and character.
