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

Let’s review a few body language gestures and what they mean, keeping in mind that the full interpretation of a gesture derives from what’s taking place at the time.
Probably the biggest challenge in writing this way is in understanding the gestures and the meaning behind them. I’m not advocating you become a psychiatrist, but rather become an expert in body language. Most think they’re good at it, but are you? Have you fallen for something someone said and later regretted it by telling a friend, “I knew I shouldn’t have trusted that guy?” How’d you know? Probably because ‘something’ told you. Call it instinct, but shrinks will tell you something in the person’s body language was waving a red flag in your face and you ignored it, intentionally or not. Go to Amazon.com and buy a book on body language. I prefer the books with pictures of each gesture. I’ve used my knowledge from body language books in my screenwriting and in Hollywood meetings.
Jayne Atkinson – This doesn’t mean to write every single movement the character makes. That would be ridiculous. The writer needs to look for moments vital to the portrayal of the character and story. Subtext gestures can be used to reveal a character’s hidden motive or show us he’s lying or spin the story in a new direction.
By providing a visual (external) action, ‘Mark hesitates’, followed by delivering the meaning of this action, ‘uncertain’, the writer has provided a visual for the actor to portray and delivered the subtext meaning behind the action for the reader. Thus, the writer has created a subtext gesture.
Breaking down a movie into its three (or four) acts and identifying the Act Climaxes (plot points, turning points, act breaks, curtain scenes, whatever you want to call them!) is a short-cut method of analysis that will get you used to recognizing that basic storytelling rhythm. I swear, taking this exercise seriously will improve your writing to no end, and it’s worth starting from the very beginning with this exercise to lock that structure into your mind for the rest of time.
Jayne Atkinson – · ASSIGNMENT: Watch a few movies, just identifying the eight sequences (every fifteen minutes or so) and act breaks, paying particular attention to the ACT CLIMAXES.
If that seems overwhelming, try this incredibly useful exercise instead:
· ASSIGNMENT: Choose some movies (I always suggest three) from the Breakdowns section and watch one at a time, following along with my breakdowns, or even better, going act by act, stopping at the end of each act to identify the key story elements, and then comparing your notes and observations with mine.
