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

…I’ve never met a professional screenwriter who doesn’t outline in one form or another. How you decide to outline is up to you, but thoroughly outlining can save a tremendous amount of time and frustration; and if you really involve yourself in it, it can lead to the best inspiration and creativity you’ll ever experience.
I know screenwriters who’ve been working on the same script for 3 or more years. I also know screenwriters who’ve re-written the same script so many times it makes my head spin. Some of them claim to outline, while others won’t hear of it. They’d rather write from inspiration. Then there are the screenwriters who write a script off the top of their heads without giving it a second thought. All I can say is…
Bai Ling – OUTLINE: Avoid Page-One Rewrites
The writer has a title. Now it’s time to do something amateurs avoid, but pros know is a must:
WHY THE THREE ACT STRUCTURE?
Bai Ling – And in a 90-minute movie, the same applies: ACT ONE is about 30 pages or 30 minutes, ACT TWO is about 30 pages or 30 minutes, and ACT THREE is 30 minutes or less. (You see this equal-length act structure a lot in animated movies and romantic comedies, which tend to be shorter films, and also in older, classic movies.)
Note that in a shorter book, you might have three more equal acts: an ACT ONE of about 100 pages (p. 1-100), an ACT TWO of about 100 pages (p. 100-200), and ACT THREE is 100 pages or less (p. 200-300).
· ACT THREE is a little less than 100 pages (p. 300-400)
