Testimonials

“Joyce has a deep understanding of both the creative and production perspectives of effects filmmaking. The clarity she brings to the visual effects world helps mitigate the inherent confusion people often feel when first exposed to its complexity. She’s one of the best in the business and I’m very excited to see what the next chapter in her career brings.”

– Jon Favreau, Director – The Jungle Book, Ironman, Chef

"The rapid growth in visual effects has outpaced the industry’s ability to implement a uniform system to manage the complex and ever-changing finances of a visual effects project. Joyce Cox is the perfect person to design an application to close that gap. Joyce truly understands the ins and outs of VFX production, and her bidding and financial management process is solid and predictable having been production proven on many major studio feature films."

– David Taritero, Sr. VP VFX, Production, Disney

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ms. Cox for over 2 decades. Joyce has always maintained the highest degree of professionalism and her incredible track record of success proves it. Her intuitive ability to assess and solve intricate problems, along with an uncanny ability to build and manage teams are only small parts to what has driven her to the top of her field.”

– Lee Berger, Sr. VP of Production, Prime Focus World

“Joyce Cox is the finest visual effects producer I have ever worked with. Smart, aware, creative, and a real grown-up. Nothing that she encounters is beyond her producing skills, and no day passes without some humor. This is a great combination when the chips are down. She can be counted on to deliver the goods.”

– Michael Fink, Adademy Award Winning VFX Supervisor; Professor & Chair, USC School of Cinematic Arts

"CURÓ is a fantastic tool to help manage and track VFX projects. Constructing a budget and implementing changes is a breeze - a huge time saver and enjoyable to use. The cleverly designed and robust interface provides focus and attention to detail whilst remaining flexible, allowing me to work through a script in large strokes and refine the budget just the way I want to.”

– Jonathan Alenskas, freelance VFX Supervisor and Producer

"The idea that there will finally be a software program to help the VFX producing process more efficiently track the breakdown and budgeting in a more unified way is such a sense of relief! We have been waiting so long for an effective VFX budgeting tool and thank goodness we have a master like Joyce at the helm of this application!"

– Jacquie Barnbrook, VFX Bidding Producer (The Jungle Book, Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, Hunger Games and many more)
