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

How Do You Show Sadness, Loss?
I once told a screenwriter he needed to show us that his character was feeling sad after a relationship breakup instead of just writing “he feels sad.” When the writer submitted the next draft he’d simply added a scene where the character tells his buddy how bad he’s feeling. This isn’t how it’s done. Film’s a visual medium. The writer has to show the emotion! Another reason is the actor needs to portray the emotion and he can’t portray ‘He’s angry’, but he can hurl a dish to show he’s angry. Emotion is portrayed via action not words!
Kate Capshaw – How does your character express anger, sadness, fear or any other emotion? Most screenwriters simply write “He’s afraid” or “She feels sad,” but this isn’t screenwriting. Why? Because the writer needs to SHOW us he’s afraid or she feels sad. Show, don’t tell! How? Instead of writing “He’s angry,” have the character hurl a dish. Now we know he’s angry because the action shows us. Show the heroine crying. Now we see she’s sad.
Use Action to Show Emotion
CROSSING THE THRESHOLD/ENTERING THE SPECIAL WORLD
Kate Capshaw – But if the story is not a mystery or a team action story, the first half of Act II will often have some of the above elements anyway, and all stories will generally have these next elements in Act II, part 1 (not in any particular order):
· A TICKING CLOCK
· A MACGUFFIN
