Juntobox films

JuntoBox Films is a privately funded independent film studio that funds micro-budget films. Based in Santa Monica, CA , the social-media centric studio was founded by writer/director Philippe Caland “on the principle that everyone has a story to tell, and we passionately seek those innovative voices.” It officially debuted at the 2012 South by Southwest festival, where they also announced Oscar-winning actor Forest Whitaker as co-chair.
Focusing on films with budgets under $2million, the studio finds projects from within their platform, which is free and open to anyone around the world. Any user can create a project page with title, synopsis and logline and start attracting followers, which is necessary to advance up the five levels. For a project to be considered for greenlight, a script (which can be made available just to the development team) must be included. JuntoBox Films has greenlit four films in 2012.
In November of 2012, they announced a partnership with Indiegogo, allowing filmmakers who are looking for crowdfunding to also be in the running for funding from JuntoBox Films, while allowing those who are greenlit to gather additional funds for their film.
The name was inspired by the Junto club, founded In 1727 by a young Benjamin Franklin.
