Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through Melissa Hirschenson’s “Dumbass”
Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?
Melissa Hirschenson – 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 Melissa Hirschenson 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 Melissa Hirschenson 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 Melissa Hirschenson’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, Melissa Hirschenson 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 often seen screenwriters use FADE IN and FADE OUT as a scene transition. This is incorrect formatting. The scene’s description and/or action should visually reference the transition without the improper use of FADE IN and FADE OUT.
The only place in a screenplay that FADE IN should appear is on page one! The only place in a screenplay that FADE OUT should appear is on the final page of the script!
Melissa Hirschenson – Fade In & Fade Out
Use CAPS sparingly and only when absolutely necessary.
The point I’m trying to make here is that whether or not you’re using music, song, and dance in a story, you can learn volumes about creating emotionally effective scenes from looking at how musical theater handles key story elements. Take a favorite musical and watch it with that idea in mind. I think you’ll be amazed.
Melissa Hirschenson – “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” from Mary Poppins is both a CHARACTER ARC song and a NEW WAY OF LIFE song, as the stodgy banker father quits his job to take his neglected children to the park to fly a kite. The final, titular song from Oklahoma! celebrates the union of the farmers and ranchers in the brand new state of Oklahoma. The ensemble reprise of “Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord” in Godspell lifts the audience’s spirits to the heights after the devastation of the Crucifixion.
NEW WAY OF LIFE songs:
I have to add that my absolute favorite kind of musical theater song is the SPECIALTY DANCE NUMBER: a group of usually five to seven women, the heroine’s coworkers or allies, in a song and dance showstopper like the ones Bob Fosse is so famous for — “Steam Heat,” “Big Spender,” “Mein Herr,” “He Had It Coming.” You also find showstoppers with a small group of men, the classic tap numbers you see time and again both on stage and in film, and larger ensemble dances such as the breathtaking gang dance numbers of West Side Story, but I wanted to bring the female equivalent up as an example of subversive female empowerment.
