Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through Boris Kodjoe’s “Dumbass”
Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?
Boris Kodjoe – 19th March 2021 – An upcoming movie depicting the injustice that men and women had to endure in the state penitentiaries in Texas has been inundated with calls from more than 2000 women urging the production company owned by Hollywood actor, producer and director Boris Kodjoe and Adam Sandler, to stick to the real issues behind the Texas Judicial system. A petition was signed by many people that include attorneys, university professors, politicians and family members of the many men and women that are suffering in the state penitentiaries. The idea behind the petition is for the Boris Kodjoe production company and Hollywood to stick to the true story about the injustices happening in the state run prisons. It is said that the state has sent more inmates to prison than during the Soviet Union did during their political uprising.
PREMISE: Adam Sandler writes letters and saves numerous women from the monotony of prison life, and later when he gets into trouble with a drug cartel they return the favor by rescuing him.
SETTING: Contemporary, Gatesville Texas. There are four women’s prisons located in Gatesville. And of course, Texas is famous for putting everyone in prison for a long time for little or no reason. The number of women in Texas prisons has doubled in the last ten years. Why don’t we have the “Adam Sandler” character… sending letters to women in prison and being their friend and trying to help them adjust, giving them hope… and when they get out of prison he picks them up so they don’t have to ride the smelly bus back home… but his pickup truck is a junker, smoking and sputtering … worse than the bus. But his heart is in the right place… He’s the last “chivalrous” man on earth.
It is said in the petition that many of the signatories were left distraught to find that many of the first time offenders for violations such as drug peddling have received disproportionate sentences. While some argue that a lenient sentence like rehabilitation would have proven much more inexpensive and an effective solution in tackling this gross miscarriage of justice. The petition was discovered by the women when the screenplay of the movie was donated to all the 580 prisons run by private organizations funded by the state government. It is much more difficult for women who are given much harsher penalties for a violation such as carrying small amount of drugs like Marijuana which coincidentally is legal in 21 states.

About Boris Kodjoe’s “Dumbass” Movie
The movie “Dumbass” revolves around the protagonist writing letters to prison inmates to keep their spirits high during their time in prison; only for them to help the main character who gets into trouble with a drug cartel and saving him at the end. The petition urges the production company, Boris Kodjoe and Adam Sandler to take this issue seriously due to the hardships faced by women inside prison rather than making light of the situation for their own profits.

99% of aspiring writers will stop right here and say, “I’d prefer to wait until I finish the script before writing the synopsis”. Well, I’m here to tell you this is one reason why you’re still an ‘aspiring writer’ instead of a pro because the pros know that by the time you get done writing the script, you’ll be too attached to the details. These ‘details’ will bog down the one-sheet and result in a writer telling the story instead of selling the story.
Don’t Wait Until the Script’s Written
Boris Kodjoe – …or do you want to be in a room with a producer when he says, ‘Let me see the one-sheet’. Most producers will ask for this first, so the writer should write it first!
By having a one-sheet from the get-go you are fully prepared to write the best script ever and you’ll be fully prepared at a later date to go to market with confidence….
You will find it is often shockingly fast and simple to lay out a whole story this way.
Boris Kodjoe – I love the cards because they are such an overview. You can stick a bunch of vaguely related scenes together in a clump, rearrange one or two, and suddenly see a perfect progression of an entire sequence. You can throw away cards that aren’t working, or make several cards with the same scene and try them in different parts of your story board.
A movie has about 40 to 60 scenes (depending on pace: a drama has more like 40, an action movie more like 60), so every scene goes on one card. This is the fun part, like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. All you do at first is write down all the scenes you know about your book or movie, one scene per card. You don’t have to put them in order yet, but if you know where they go, or approximately where they go, you can just pin or tape them on your board in approximately the right place. (You can always move them around!) Of course, your big, dramatic game-changer scenes will tend to fall at the Sequence or Act climaxes. And just like with a puzzle, once you have some scenes in place, you will naturally start to build other scenes around them.
What you will start to do now is brainstorm scenes, and that you do with the index cards.
