Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through Fiona Dourif’s “Dumbass”

Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?

Fiona Dourif – 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 Fiona Dourif 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 Fiona Dourif 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 Fiona Dourif’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, Fiona Dourif 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.

HOW TO WRITE A TRUE LIFE STORY

Writing a holiday script can be inspirational on many levels and can even help a screenwriter improve their craft by learning to explore a theme in a movie. Other holiday movies to consider viewing include: The Santa Claus, The Family Man, The Holiday, A Perfect Holiday, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, A Christmas Story, This Christmas, Surviving Christmas, Deck the Halls, Prancer, Elf, The Family Stone, etc. See www.netflix.com or www.imdb.com to reference additional holiday picks.

Fiona Dourif – The exception to the A-List Factor and The Santa Factor is holiday scripts written as MOW for cable channels like Hallmark and Lifetime for Women. This market doesn’t require a big-star and often stays within a specific formula of storytelling. MOW’s in the category includes movies like The Christmas Card, Meet the Santas and Mr. St. Nick. If writing for this market, be sure to do plenty of research because a lot of areas have been thoroughly covered and you’ll want to assure that you’re bringing something unique to the table.

Santa has been explored in books, music, animation, films, video games, etc. It’s a tough subject to tackle in a holiday film because it’s been overdone. If you decide to go with a story pertaining to Santa Claus, it must be 100% original without straying from things we’ve come to know that relate to Santa Claus. For example, a story where Santa becomes a biker isn’t likely to sell, but take a biker, hit him on the head and have him believe he’s Santa Claus and you might have a hit on your hands.

And now that you have some endings in mind, let’s see what they (probably!) have in common.

Fiona Dourif – · ASSIGNMENT: If you haven’t done it already, stop now, and make your personal list of ten best endings.

To study how to craft a great third act, you have to look specifically at the endings that work for you.

But even then, a third act is a lot of pressure.
