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

OBSTACLES
Needless to say, the writer needs to maintain the genre in Act II. Shifting from a horror in Act I to a comedy in Act II will only result in a pass. This might seem obvious, but I’d estimate 3 out of every 10 scripts I read have this problem. Or worse, the writer doesn’t truly understand how to write for the genre and it becomes painfully obvious during the 60 pages that make up Act II. Learning and knowing the rules of the genres is vital to the writer’s story and even to a screenwriting career! Really study genres. Know that horrors end where the threat remains, RomComs require a big kiss scene and action/adventures require a chase scene, etc. Stick to one genre. Multiple genre stories aren’t being sold as specs right now and the films getting made as multiple genres are being written by established A-list writers, not you!
Dean Norris – GENRE
Suspense can be created by conflict, but there are other ways. The easiest way is to withhold information. I don’t know why writers feel compelled to answer every question a character asks another character. Leave it wide open. End a scene as soon as the question is asked and come back to it or answer it later – this technique is done in soap operas and they’ve been around for 30 years because they hold the audience in suspense as they wait for the question to be answered. There’s no rule when you have to end a scene…..show a bomb ticking, then go to something else. Leaving us hanging in suspense! Every scene should have suspense and don’t make the mistake of believing suspense is only for specific genres like thriller or horror. EVERY scene has suspense or it doesn’t work. And stop listening to gurus who tell the scene must have a beginning, middle and an end. Since when? Get in late – Get out early! Nothing’s more exciting than entering a room in the middle of a heated argument. Someone throws a plate and before it makes contact another scene starts!
· How does he PLAN to do it? By using the witch and her specialized knowledge of magical practices to investigate further.
Dean Norris – · What does the protagonist WANT? To catch the killer before s/he kills again.
So Garrett’s PLAN and the CENTRAL ACTION of the story is to use the witch and her specialized knowledge of magical practices to investigate the murder on his own, all the while knowing that she is using him for her own purposes and may well be involved in the killing.
For example, in my thriller Book of Shadows, here’s the Act One set up: the protagonist, homicide detective Adam Garrett, is called on to investigate the murder of a college girl, which looks like a Satanic killing. Garrett and his partner make a quick arrest of a classmate of the girl’s, a troubled goth musician. But Garrett is not convinced of the boy’s guilt, and when a practicing witch from nearby Salem insists the boy is innocent and there have been other murders, Garrett is compelled to investigate further.
