"In the time that I’ve spent on JuntoBox, I’ve noticed that for some of the really good projects, clearly the creators have gone back and they keep refining [their projects] and that they are always trying to make it better which is exactly how it should be… and part of what’s so great about JuntoBox is that you can receive comments, and if you receive comments that are constructive criticism, it becomes an opportunity to make your project better… and that’s great, it’s a very democratic process."
—Michael Cohn / Creator, Sacrifice
"When you start looking at all the projects that are on JuntoBox, you can very quickly see who is putting a lot of passion and love into their project page… If you see a really evocative image and you read a great logline and a really well written synopsis, you know that the [creator] has really invested himself in putting together a product to sell their project and that he is taking [the process] seriously."
—Michael Cohn / Creator, Sacrifice
“The platform forced me as a filmmaker to think of how to sell my product very effectively, with the least amount of verbiage. It’s like going into a room and doing a 1 minute pitch, you really have to have it together and that’s great, just that process, for everyone on the site. If forces people to take their own work seriously, because if they didn’t people would not really pay attention to it.”
-Michael Cohn
