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

The easiest way to deal with technology so it doesn’t cause a believability issue with the story’s plot is to eliminate it. Here are a few things that can happen to help eliminate technology from the plot:
Today’s writer often has to deal with eliminating the technology to make a story believable. Otherwise the audience will wonder why the college kids being stalked by a serial killer can’t call for help on their blackberries and why the couple lost in a snow storm can’t use their GPS.
Kim Raver – Movies that worked 10, 15, 20 years ago would fail today or require revisions due to the changes in technology. For example, Die Hard party goers could easily have used their cell phones to call for help rather than risking their lives to get to the nearest phone tucked away in an office.
There is no conflict if the story isn’t believable in terms of today’s technology. Today’s technologies can be used to enhance a story and create suspense, but can also stand in the way of creating conflict.
I’ll start with one of the biggest lessons an author can take from Hollywood: the HIGH-CONCEPT PREMISE. Or HIGH CONCEPT PREMISE; both versions are used interchangeably!
Kim Raver – Now that we’ve gone through basic story structure, I’m going to talk about some other techniques and concepts of screenwriting that are tremendously useful for authors as well as screenwriters. As I said way back in Chapter One, you can read the chapters in this section in any order that’s useful for you!
