Ashlynn Yennie & Adam Sandler’s film company targeted by Texas petition

Will Hollywood just rollover and let prisoner’s suffer?

EXCLUSIVE

The signatories, including state senators, professors of criminal justice, social workers, family, and inmates, call for a “firm commitment” to tackle the unjust prisons in Texas. The petition has also been signed by Beto O’Rourke, and Matthew McConaughey. These two signatories might face each other in the 2022 Texas governors election. Both have expressed interest in the job.  The petitions arrived for Ashlynn Yennie at Daniel Hoff Agency, Daniel Hoff last week.

In the open letter to Ashlynn Yennie, the 2080 women write that they are “heartbroken for first-time drug offenders many times addicts who have received extremely harsh sentences in Texas when rehabilitation has proven a cheaper and more effective solution.”  The petition goes on to say their family and friends are often heartbroken for and looking for redemption and rehabilitation for the victimless drug crimes.”

The signatories, including attorneys, professors, politicians, family members, and inmates, call on Ashlynn Yennie for a ‘firm film commitment’ to tackle the issue of operating the Texas prison system for profit.

The petition came to light when women discovered the screenplay, a copy which was dontated to all 580 of the state’s prison and jail libraries. The existence of the petition surfaced on International Women’s Day. Women in Texas face extreme prejudice in Texas and often receive extremely harsh penalties for even a small amount of drugs, including marijuana. Marijuana is legal now in 21 states.

Inside prisons, the women are faced with such horrendous conditions… the petition demands that “filmmakers begin to take the issue seriously.”  Also, the petition reminds that “even here in the USA in the 21st century citizens are not safe from government oppression.”

Actress, Writer, Producer, Ashlynn Yennie, has not responded to the petition. Nor has Daniel Hoff Agency, Daniel Hoff responded with a comment.

The screenplay “Dumbass” was penned by writer and retired professor of political science Alan Nafzger.

The premise of the story is that, “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.”

The film would be set in 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 sentences for little or no reason. The number of women in Texas prisons has tripled in the last ten years, as mass incarcerations have proven profitable to not only the state but also profitable for an array of business interests.

Writer Alan Nafzger has called on Governor Greg Abbott to, “end the prison industry.”

Recently, “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak spoke out against the Texas system and put a good word in for mercy and forgiveness out on social media. “How nice for those who have lived such exemplary lives that they can express glee when others have their lives ruined by a mistake, real or perceived,” Sajak tweeted last month.

The petition states, “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.”

Ashlynn Yennie has not commented on the script, thusfar. A statement is expected soon.

Professor Nafzger has made a short treatment of the project available online.

He has made the finished script available at for select filmmakers.

Jana Sandler of Happy Madison Productions has also expressed interest in the screenplay.

Ashlynn Yennie is a Actress, Writer, Producer known for Hidden Intentions (2018), The Wrong Neighbor (2017), NCIS (2003), Undateable (2014) and is represented by Daniel Hoff Agency, Daniel Hoff.

MALE NAMES

I’ve randomly picked a few male and female names from my baby book and listed their meaning as an example:

ELEVATE YOUR ENDING

Because CHANGE may just be the most effective and emotionally satisfying ending of all. Nothing beats that ending in Casablanca, seeing both Rick and Captain Renault rise above their cynical and selfish instincts and go off together to fight for a greater good. So bringing it back to the beginning: one of the most important things you can design when setting up your protagonist is where s/he starts in the beginning, and how much s/he has changed in the end.

And a particularly effective emotional technique is to have the antagonist have a character change in the end of the story. Kramer Vs. Kramer did this exceptionally well, with the mother seeing that her husband has become a great father and deciding to allow him custody of their son, even though the court has granted custody to her. It’s a far greater win than if the father had simply beaten her. Everyone in the family has changed for the better.

Another technique to make a bigger, more satisfying climax is to have the allies get their desires, too, as in The Wizard of Oz and Spirited Away. This also satisfies an important dramatic element: you need to give your important minor characters their FINAL BOWS. Whether it’s in the midst of the final battle, or in the resolution, we want to get a last glimpse of these people we’ve grown to love. Don’t let them disappear without a final moment, or your reader or audience will feel there’s something missing.
