This episode covers trauma, anxiety and depression. Please watch at your own risk. Opening up about the years of trauma my family endured when I was growing up that is the reason I started my blog. When I was 7-years-old, my dad disappeared. What transpired was 5 years of hell based on two false confessions he signed under duress as an undiagnosed diabetic, who was put through the corrupt justice system and left to rot in a prison until he was released.

Believe it or not, there are many reasons to plead guilty when you're not. ----- Plea deals are necessary to fight crime. Without them, our criminal justice system would grind to a halt, and the bad guys would run free. The downside is that plea deals can ensnare innocent people. Even more scary, once you admit to a crime you didn't commit, it can take decades to get you out of prison. So why would anyone plead guilty to something they didn't do? Tune in to hear why with host Michael Semanchik and special guests Justin Brooks, founder of the California Innocence Project, and former Los Angeles County Prosecutor Wayne Little.
According to a recent study, about 4-6% of all those incarcerated are considered to be wrongly imprisoned. That's over 70,000 people who are wrongly incarcerated every year. Today's guest, Justin Brooks has dedicated his life to representing those who have fallen victim to wrongful incarceration. Justin practiced as a criminal defense attorney in Washington, D.C., Michigan, Illinois, and California in both the trial and appellate courts. He was the founding director of the California Innocence Project at Cal Western Law School from 1999-2023, and under his direction the project freed 40 innocent people from prison (including former NFL player Brian Banks). He's been recognized several times by the Los Angeles Daily Journal as one of the Top 100 Lawyers in California, and in 2010 and 2012, California Lawyer Magazine honored him with the “Lawyer of the Year” award. He was named “International Lawyer of the Year” by the California Bar International Section in 2020 and in the same year was named “Champion of Justice” by the National Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys. In his latest book, “You Might Go to Prison Even Though You're Innocent” he details the causes of wrongful convictions based on his experience of more than three decades as a criminal defense attorney and innocence organization director. Justin took time to share his experience with us writing the book, over 30 years of legal work, and why everybody should care about wrongful convictions and the ramifications it has for our society. This is another episode you're not going to want to miss, so with that…let's bring it in!

Today we're talking to Andrew Corkin. Andrew is a producer who's body of work includes Martha Marcy May Marlene, the American remake of We Are What We Are, The Beach House (now streaming on Shudder) Alone With You, the feature debut of Emily Bennett and Justin Brooks, the Netfliux docuseries, Pepsi Where's my Jet, and many more titles. In addition to producing, Andrew is also a teacher who has taught at Emerson and The American Film Institute and goes out of his way to teach career lessons that are not typically taught in film school as evidenced by this conversation.Andrew delivers some of the most honest and thorough insights into what it means to be a producer that I think I've ever heard on this show. This is years worth of film school in a single hours so get ready to take notes. In this conversation Andrew and I discuss the keys to sustaining a long and successful career in film, the importance of mentorship and his experience within the horror genre. Here are some key takeaways from this conversation with Andrew Corkin.Heed the 80/20 Principle: Andrew pays a lot of mind to which directors he decides to work with, noting that it's a 3-5 year partnership and therefore a serious commitment. The balance he seeks in a director he's working with is someone with a strong vision but open to feedback. The ideal director has 80% of their vision realized and thought out, but remains open to 20% influence from collaborators. A director with too strong a vision is as difficult to work with as one whose vision isn't fleshed out enough. It's crucial to demonstrate a thorough vision while maintaining some fluidity to enable powerful collaborations.Show Don't Tell: When pitching Martha Marcy May Marlene with Director Sean Durkin, raising money was a challenge since at the time, Sean was a first time feature director. Andrew and Sean responded by creating a short proof of concept, showcasing the vision, tone, and nuance of the film they wanted to make. This approach was successful, helping them raise the funds not just by communicating the vision, but by demonstrating Sean's ability to deliver it as a director. A verbally articulated vision can only take you so far; producers need to see what you're capable of actually making if they're going to invest in you.Lean into mentorship. A common theme throughout Andrew's career has been mentorship and education. He not only seeks to learn from collaborators but will even choose specific collaborators to learn from. This learner's mindset can be rare in the film business which is rife with egos, but Andrew credits this mentality of continuous learning to his success and career sustainability and even after over a decade in the industry, he still constantly strives to learn more.SHOW NOTESMovies Mentioned: The Kid Stays in the Picture (Documentary about Robert Evans)Afterschool - Antonio CamposSimon Killer - Antonio CamposMartha Marcy May Marlene - Sean DurkinWe Are What We Are (Mexican Original) - Jorge Michel GrauWe Are What We Are (American Remake) - Jim MickleLet the Right One In (Swedish Original) - Tomas AlfredsonThe Babadook - Jennifer KentVigilante - Sarah Dagger-NixonClean Shaven - Lodge KerriganLe Samourai - Jean-Pierre MelvilleFollow Andrew Corkin at:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrewdcorkin/X: https://twitter.com/andrewdcorkin?lang=enIMDB:
Justin Brooks will tell you that as the Founder of the California Innocence Project, he was just following his passion as a criminal justice attorney to exonerate those who were falsely accused and spending decades in prison. He may only have been in his twenties when he launched the California Innocence Project, but as of 2023, Justin has received exoneration for 40 such individuals and travels the world, helping launch Innocence Projects in other countries. It was also Justin who took a chance with Brian Banks and was instrumental in having Brian exonerated! If you think that heroes have gone the way of the dinosaur, you haven't met Justin Brooks!

If you were hoping to hear how Brian Banks overcame the adversity and punishment that was thrown at him in Part 1 of our interview, then here it is! You'll hear how Brian stayed ‘sane' despite his time behind the wall, his home life, that still felt like jail, while on parole, and the knowledge that he'd always live in a societal prison with a sex offender stamp on his record. That was until criminal defense lawyer and the Founding Director of the California Innocence Project, Justin Brooks, agreed to take Brian's case, despite the fact that he was already post parole, and you'll NEVER believe the role his accuser played in Brian's exoneration!

Yik Yak is a psuedoanonymous social media platform primarily focused on on-campus college students. Yik yak first launched in 2013 and at it's peak hit about 7M Monthly Active Users and about 2.5M daily active users, spending roughly 30 minutes per day on the app. They consequently raised north of $60M.
