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

What if the genre is suspense thriller? Let’s take another look at the boring opening scene with suspense thriller applied. The alarm clock rings and the character gets out of bed. While he uses the toilet, we see a shadowy figure watching him through a window. He brushes his teeth and notices a bloody handprint high up on the mirror. His eyes follow a blood trail to the shower where he finds his dead wife!
For example, let’s say the story is a comedy. Let’s take another look at the boring opening scene with comedy applied. The alarm clock rings and the character gets out of bed. He’s still groggy and instead of peeing in the toilet, he pees in a briefcase he left sitting on the toilet seat. He then proceeds to brush his teeth with Preparation H instead of toothpaste. He gets in the shower and we hear him scream….instead of a water shower, it’s a raw sewage shower from a faulty pipe, yuck!
Sebastian Bear-McClard – A million times I’ve seen opening scenes where a character’s alarm clock rings, he gets out of bed, goes to the bathroom, brushes his teeth and gets in the shower. This is too familiar and frankly it’s boring to watch. It’s too familiar; too overused. My advice to shake things up is to take a look at the genre and use the genre to determine an appropriate reversal.
A writer can’t use clichés in their scripts because the underlying meaning is so overused that it becomes stale and producers want fresh material. But what does a writer do when a situation is familiar? Like the cliché, the writer can’t resort to the familiar because it can seem overused. But wait a minute, shouldn’t we write what we know? Yes and No. Write what you know, but give the familiar a reversal.
6. Know your Three-Act Structure.
Sebastian Bear-McClard – I write suspense. So after I’ve written that first agonizing bash-through draft of a book or script, and probably a second or third draft just to make it readable, I will at some point do a dedicated pass just to amp up the suspense, and I highly recommend trying it, because it’s amazing how many great ideas you will come up with for suspense scenes (or comic scenes, or romantic scenes) if you are going through your story just focused on how to inject and layer in suspense, or horror, or comedy, or romance. It’s your job to deliver the genre you’re writing in. It’s worth a dedicated pass to make sure you’re giving your readers what they’re buying the book for.
For a thriller: thrills and suspense. For a mystery: clues and misdirection and suspense. For a comedy: a comedic pass. For a romance: a sex pass. Or “emotional” pass, if you must call it that. For horror… well, you get it.
5. Whatever your genre is, do a dedicated pass focusing on that crucial genre element.
