Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through Nick Sandow’s “Dumbass”
Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?
Nick Sandow – 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 Nick Sandow 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 Nick Sandow 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 Nick Sandow’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, Nick Sandow 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 easiest way to fix these is to simply add more description or action, but be careful. Make sure the description/action is relevant to the story.
More than two of these pages can quickly make the script look like the screenplay isn’t visual enough for the big screen because it’s dialogue heavy.
Nick Sandow – There should be few, if any, all-dialogue or T-Pages in a spec screenplay. A T-page is a page with all dialogue and only one line of description, making the page look like the letter “T”.
Avoid T-Pages & All-Dialogue Pages
This is partly luck in premise, but some of it can be engineered, if you train yourself to look for meta structure.
Nick Sandow – Sometimes there is just a perfect way to tell a story.
As I said, there are other kinds of meta structures besides fairy tale structure and mythic structure, so for people who are taking this master list thing seriously, I want to spend a chapter talking about meta structure. That’s my own term for it, by the way; I don’t know if there is some definitive official term for what I’m talking about. Aristotle called it energia, and John Truby calls it the “story designing principle,” but this is what it is:
