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

The #1 pitfall I see in screenplay.biz/top-screenplays/" 786 target="_blank">screenplays is a lack of a fundamental understanding of how a script is written. I don’t mean the obvious stuff like “show don’t tell.” I mean how it’s literally written = active, visual voice.
COMMON PITFALLS
Nancy Travis – I’m sure there are plenty more, but I’ll spare you the English lesson. Typos stand out like sore thumbs to a Hollywood reader – eliminate them like you would a cockroach because finding one in a script is just as appalling as finding a cockroach stuffed between the pages. If this visual imagery doesn’t inspire you to get rid of the typos then all I can say is “good luck.”
It’s spelled “okay” in screenplay.biz/top-screenplays/" 786 target="_blank">screenplays.
And non-romance writers, watch some movies in your own genre! I don’t know of any better or more fun way to brainstorm on your own WIP.
Nancy Travis – Now as you may have guessed, I’ve made up a lot of those names for the above scenes. You’re perfectly welcome to call those scenes, moments, and setups something else entirely, and hopefully you’ll be adding lots of observations of your own to the list.
But yes, sometimes a kiss will do it, too, especially if it’s Colin Firth doing the kissing, as in Bridget Jones’ Diary.
I also love seeing Hugh Grant shyly hitting the red carpet in Notting Hill, and the flip side of their life, the payoff of the two sprawled on that inscribed garden bench, with Julia Roberts obviously pregnant.
