Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through David Lederman (I)’s “Dumbass”
Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?
David Lederman (I) – 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 David Lederman (I) 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 David Lederman (I) 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 David Lederman (I)’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, David Lederman (I) 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.

I know, you’re getting tired of me hounding you about the arc. Too darn bad! I’m getting tired of reading stories with no arc because they suck! Few writers consider how the dialogue in Act II is contributing or failing to contribute to the hero’s arc. We all have relatives or even so-called friends who make snide remarks regarding something ‘bout us they don’t like. It’s done via subtext and it’s annoying as hell! My favorite is when the relative mentions how great you look by saying, “Did you lose weight, you look great?” Worse is when you answer, “No, I haven’t lost weight”. Subtext from relative: You were fat. Subtext from fatty: “Yep, I’m still fat”! If we get this type of underlying subtext in real life from people who’d change us if they could, why isn’t the hero getting it too? I’m not saying every piece of dialogue has to do this, but the overall dialogue should contribute to the arc.
ARC DIALOGUE
David Lederman (I) – I keep harping on the arc in Act II because most writers totally ignore it, which in turn means their story has no theme. Theme and arc are interconnected. A hero who must find the courage to defeat an antagonist leads to a theme involving finding the courage to overcome the worst-case scenario. No arc = no theme. A producer won’t buy a story without a theme. If the writer can’t tell a producer what his story’s theme is, then the writer has failed to deliver a sellable screenplay!
ARC IS THEME
But the movie is only half over. So of course, as very often happens at the midpoint, the plan fails. In a suspenseful and emotional wrenching MIDPOINT CLIMAX, Ness’s accountant teammate, whom we have come to love, escorts the bookkeeper into the courthouse elevator to take him up to the courtroom. As the doors close, we see the police guard is actually one of Capone’s men.
David Lederman (I) – So as we approach the MIDPOINT, Ness’s team has the bookkeeper in custody, the trial is set, and Ness’s men are escorting the bookkeeper to court.
But of course, in a crime thriller, this has to be done with plenty of action sequences and shootouts, so Capone gets wind of the plan and moves the accountant to a secret location high in the mountains, so Ness and his team have to storm the hideout. Much gunfire and chases on horseback ensue (and some clever persuasion by Sean Connery to get the bookkeeper to testify).
So the PLAN and CENTRAL ACTION of the story becomes to locate one of Capone’s bookkeepers, take him into custody, and force him to testify against Capone about his tax evasion.
