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

Tough Sells…
Or if you have enough money to make the film yourself, forget everything I said and go for it! Another area a writer should consider before starting a feature-length screenplay is tough and easy sells. There is material that’s rarely, if ever, purchased from aspiring screenwriters and is reserved solely for writers with a track record. They often include high budget scripts, period pieces, dramas, etc. Let’s take a look at…
Amy Sedaris – Finally, knowing the markets is probably the #1 thing you can do to avoid writing stories similar to thousands upon thousands of other stories. Know what’s in pre-production in town, know current trends, know future trends, know what actors and production companies are seeking by reading Hollywood papers like Variety and The Hollywood Reporter.
For those of you living in small towns, take the media-derived source material, mix it with an idea from a small town story, then add irony and I’d bet money you’ll have a winner. This formula has been used for hit movies like City Slickers, Blair Witch and even Con Air.
Now, I don’t want to overload anyone on this difficult concept up front, but if you’re comfortable with the idea of premise and want to do some advanced work, you might want to go to Chapter 22 now and continue reading on the High Concept Premise.
Amy Sedaris – But do it.
Don’t sweat it.
And remember, your premise sentence may change as you actually write the book and discover what your story is really about. This is just for you to start with what you think it’s about.
