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

It’s tough to give advice in this area, but I’ll try my best. First, don’t follow current trends. If vampire movies are hot, don’t rush out and decide you have a better vampire story. Why not? For several reasons: 1) by the time you finish your screenplay, the trend will probably be dead (no pun intended) 2) movies coming out in theaters today were probably filmed 2-3 years ago and Hollywood already has the next hot trend in pre-production and will be ready to shoot it before you finish your vampire flick 3) a million other writers will be doing the same thing as you! The ‘trend’ only works in your favor if you have a completed screenplay the moment it becomes hot and your screenplay is so damn original that everyone who reads it goes ‘WOW!’ If not, you’re screwed.
It’s weird how people think alike, but it’s true because they do. Maybe we’re somehow psychologically linked and just don’t know it. Maybe it’s because we share the same media sources, which often becomes the source material for screenplay.biz/top-screenplays/" 786 target="_blank">screenplays. Maybe it’s because we share common life experiences. I don’t know, but what I do know is that it’s easy to spend a lot of time writing exactly the same type of screenplay as hundreds, if not thousands of other writers, with little chance of a successful sale because the market becomes saturated with the same types of stories.
Amy Irving – A writer recently mentioned his script was getting good response from agents, but comments were made about how the agents felt like they’d read the same story 5-6 times in the past few months. The agents were correct because the subject matter of the writer’s screenplay has been hitting the market lately in droves.
WHAT NOT TO WRITE: TOUGH & EASY PLOT SELLS
I’m not going to lie to you. Many people struggle mightily with premise. In those initial stages of writing, when your story seems like a hurricane of characters, scene ideas, visual images, and snippets of dialogue, it is so hard to nail precisely what it is that is going to bind the whole wonderful mess together. Believe me, I know. To learn how to write a good premise line, you need to practice. I encourage you to take the list of films and books you’ve made and for each story, write a one-sentence premise that contains all these story elements: protagonist, antagonist, conflict, stakes, setting, atmosphere, and genre.
Amy Irving – · And there are clues to the genre: there may be something supernatural going on, but that’s only what she believes, so there’s a mystery there: not just who the killer is, but what the killer is. There’s a sense of danger, too, possibly on several levels.
· What are the stakes? Life and death, and something possibly supernatural as well, if there really is a demon involved.
· What’s the conflict? It’s both interpersonal and external: it will be the cop and the witch against each other, and the two of them against the killer.
