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

While Act II is all about the hero and his arc, don’t forget the antagonist! In order for the audience to root for the hero to change, the hero must be up against a tough opponent. Far too often, I read antagonists who are equal to the hero. Wrong!!!! The antagonist should be smarter, cleverer, more devious, cunning, etc.! He should be a formidable foe! The only way the hero will outsmart the antagonist is to change! This is important because it FORCES the hero to change! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read a script where the antagonist is introduced in Act I and doesn’t show up again until Act III. If he’s not around, then the hero isn’t being challenged and this is a sure pass. Also, the writer doesn’t have to create an internal conflict for the bad guy. We don’t need to know he was abused as a child and that’s why he’s a monster now. Worry about the hero’s internal conflict and let the bad guy be the bad guy.
THE ANTAGONIST
Deborah Baxter – The trick is to slowly have the hero change! This helps maintain suspense! If the hero changes too early, then the suspense is dead and it’s suspense in Act II that creates rising tension. While the hero is slowly changing, have the external conflict coming out a 100 miles an hour. That’s the easiest way to create rising tension.
RISING TENSION
#NAME?
Deborah Baxter – It is a terrific way to show a huge character arc: Neo stepping into his destiny. And I would add that this is a common structural pattern for mythic journey stories: in The Lord of the Rings, it’s Gandalf who has the PLAN and drives the reluctant Frodo in the central story action until Frodo finally takes over the action himself.
Does this weaken the structure of that film? Not at all. Morpheus drives the action until that crucial point, the Act Two Climax, when he is abducted by the agents of the Matrix, at which point Neo steps into his greatness and becomes “The One” by taking over the action and making a new plan: to rescue Morpheus by sacrificing himself.
