25 October 2020by Jin Chohan, Organiser Directed and produced by Jin Chohan, under Takeflight Film. A full feature streaming service ready documentary, an investigative look into the facts behind the allegations in Leaving Neverland and their validity as the media has shown very little push back in comparison to the court system finding the allegations unbelievable. My name is Jin Chohan, I have produced and directed documentaries for myself and UCLA Semel Institute. I have also worked on a series of documentaries for CNN in the editorial department for the '2000s' series. I originally am a dancer and made the natural transition to visuals behind the camera a number of years ago from producing advertisements for companies to artists. Trial By Media: The Michael Jackson Story This documentary I decided to make was off the success of one I made previously designed for YouTube. I felt this story needs to be told and we all deserve a fair trial, whether it be in the court of public opinion or in a court room. I feel very strongly about this issue as it is a reflection of all our liberty if one person can be seen in two different lights in such extremity. I am approaching this documentary as a journalist, weaving in a compelling story to tell the FACTS - whether good or bad, only the truth behind the allegations. It will be an investigation into how the media has treated 'The Michael Jackson Story', and if that has been fair. Every donation helps so much in my goal to produce this to the highest quality I can, I believe in my story telling and experience in this field to be able to produce something of a very high standard. The donations will help with equipment from recording audio to lighting and more importantly to legal matters when the documentary is finished, from Errors & Omissions insurance and so on. I'm trying to hit this goal and appreciate so much every donation, I believe with my skills I can produce and direct this project to a standard which a streaming service on a large platform would want it. Donations of $100 (£75) and over will be credited at the end of the documentary, and credited on IMDb www.gofundme.com/f/themjstorydoc

I was expecting it to be just an echo chamber within MJ fans but a few of our regular listeners asked about it. Not sure if they'll donate but the chance that they will is good enough for me. I'd really love to see this get funded and released ASAP.

^ I hadn't heard about it before today so it's good to keep sharing it. Hopefully more donations will come in. It has a long way to go though, 32k until the target is reached and even then, I wonder if 60k will be enough to fund the whole project.

I only checked him out myself because of Respect mentioning him in her posts but he seems to be proactive and to be working towards completing it. He seems to be “into it!”

This guy needs the financial backing.
Yesterday by Jin Chohan, Organiser Quick update. I've halted filming for a moment as I'm working on funding and plans to reach out to distributors to finish the rest of the production, as funding has become an issue now for this project. I've been sifting through footage creating a pitch deck and pitch trailer for plans to bring this to the next stage, it's been a long process - going through 70 hours.
Once again I want to say thank you to everyone who is supporting this project, just know that I am tirelessly working on this project day and night - the time has flown by from when I started this. It gets tough as I need to balance that with trying to earn and live, but know I am a thousand percent invested in making this what it deserves to be.
A little about the footage and pitch I'm creating: Going through about 70 or so hours of footage, I was reassured this project will be powerful - even I must humbly admit it at this point. I wish I could share some of the footage with you, but I can't right now. The interviews talk about topics I can not wait to get out there into the public. Just know it has the punch we need to tell this story as powerfully as possible as it can be told. Now, there is a lot more footage I need to finish this documentary, which is why I'm excited about this project still - that footage will only make it stronger.
So I thought I'd quickly check in here as you deserve to know what I've been up to. I hope everyone is doing great. Thank you again, and see you soon here.

I can't wait to see what this turns out to be. It reassures me that there are still sane people like Mr Chohan.

Update by Jin: Today by Jin Chohan, Organizer Hi everyone, It's time for a quick update. Since my last few posts, you know I had to pause production periodically. I focused on research and, most importantly, finding a distributor to take the documentary to the next level. To fund the project, I spent five months in the UK at the end of last year, working corporate gigs and building my video business to put me in a position to push forward with this project. I'm currently continually working on the next phase - distribution; and of course, the research side never sleeps. I'm back in the US and I've decided to restart production whenever possible. I'm ready to film suitable interviews when they become available; pushing production in the right direction while working on the next phase to allow me to fully do so. One thing is certain: I'm finishing this project – it's been my main goal from the beginning. I'll find a way. Thank you again for your incredible support. It truly makes a huge difference in the production of this documentary series. I've also been meeting with people for advice – all to push forward. There are still 25-30 interviews to conduct, but I'll prioritize the ones that fit the current situation and keep production moving, even if at a slower pace – for now. Your continued support means the world to me, it truly helps the project an immense amount and I'm thankful for your support. I'll be sharing some behind-the-scenes images when I can. www.trialbymediamj.com/Best regards, Jin Chohan www.gofundme.com/f/themjstorydoc?viewupdates=1&rcid=r01-171504258168-e64710100c0a11ef&utm_medium=email&utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_email%2B1137-update-supporters-v5b
