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

Proper format has been argued more than any other area of screenwriting. One writer thinks something is correct while another thinks it’s wrong. One guru says format it this way, another says something else. Who’s right? Who’s wrong? Format can make your head spin!
FORMAT 101: COMMON PITFALLS
Mariel Hemingway – It’s time to show you how to properly format and take it to the next level. Let’s start by gathering up every source you’ve used to learn formatting from; books, magazines, produced and unproduced scripts. Go to the nearest trash can and throw them away! By the time you read a book on the market, the format has probably changed – Yes, formats change in Hollywood. By reading scripts, you’re hoping the other writer got it right. Well, he must have because it’s a produced script, right? Remember what I said earlier? Established writers can get away with breaking the rules, so there’s no guarantee the format they are using is the current industry format! Don’t worry if what you’re about to read will be outdated soon because I’m going to reveal how to assure you’re ALWAYS using the most current format!
Mastering format isn’t optional if an aspiring screenwriter wants to become a paid professional. It’s mandatory! But it can be confusing. Even when the writer understands how the basics work, the writer may not understand how to take formatting to the next level to use it to create style and voice. And even further to create suspense, fear, comedy, love and many other visual and dialogue experiences. Yes, format can do more than tell us whether we’re INT. or EXT.!
· ASSIGNMENT: Brainstorm — or be on the lookout for — examples of how filmmakers and authors externalize the main character’s INNER AND OUTER DESIRE.
Mariel Hemingway – Remember that in a love story, the moment of seeing the loved one for the first time does not just begin the inner — or sometimes outer! — desire, but it’s often also the INCITING INCIDENT and/or CALL TO ADVENTURE of the story. So next, let’s look at that critical story element.
– The action thriller Collateral uses this whole-scene technique to establish Jamie Foxx’s outer desire (two of his desires, in fact). When Jada Pinkett Smith gets into his cab for a short ride, their wonderful, sparkling, chemistry-laced dialogue not only reveals to us his dream of running a limo company (OUTER DESIRE), but also shows him developing a powerful new Inner and Outer Desire: He wants her (also OUTER DESIRE), but more than that: he wants to be a man worthy of her (INNER DESIRE). Which is so often the case in a love story or love subplot: the true desire is to become worthy of the loved one. And the way Jamie can become a man worthy of Jada is to stop dreaming about the limo company and do it — take action. Which the antagonist of the film will force him to do, in more ways than one.
Sometimes a story will take a whole scene to establish the desire line:
