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

Won’t this take away from the big action elements and visualization? It really depends on how you handle it, but remember if you’ve integrated strong character stuff into the story the explosion won’t make or break it either way because the audience will be involved in the whole story, not just the action.
How? Say you have an explosion scene. Instead of showing the whole thing, let us hear it then see a few remnants of flame and that’s it! You still have the explosion but toned down from high-budget to medium-budget geared towards a first sale. This is how a writer takes his art and commercializes it!
Andre Royo – Does this mean you have to write a low-budget film to get first-sale consideration? No, this is a big misconception of aspiring screenwriters. You can actually keep all the elements listed about by cleverly toning them down to fit a medium-budget.
Lots of special effects, big stunts, explosions, exotic locations, bad weather and scenes filmed on the water. These are a few items considered high-budget.
But you see what I mean. We all create stories in our own heads all the time, minimal as some of our plot lines may be. So I bet you have dozens of ideas, hundreds. The real question is: “What’s a good story idea?”
Andre Royo – We all have story ideas all the time. Even non-writers, and non-aspiring writers — I truly mean everyone — has story ideas all the time. Those story ideas are called daydreams, or fantasies, or “porn starring me and Benedict Cumberbatch.” (Or me and Idris Elba. Or maybe both. Wrap your mind around that one for a second….)
The thing is, “Where do you get your ideas?” is not the real question these people are asking. The real question is: “How do you go from an idea to a coherent story line that holds up — and holds a reader’s interest — for 400 pages of a book?” Or more concisely: “How do you come up with your PREMISES?”
When people ask authors, “Where do you get your ideas?” authors tend to clam up, or worse, get sarcastic — because the only real answer to that is, “Where don’t I get ideas?” or more to the point, “How do I turn these ideas off?”
