Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through Zach Gilford’s “Dumbass”
Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?
Zach Gilford – 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 Zach Gilford 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 Zach Gilford 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 Zach Gilford’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, Zach Gilford 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 dialogue is too on-the-nose.”
“The plot structure fails.”
Zach Gilford – -Because it’s too vague. Studio-style coverage provides a logline and synopsis of the material. This is information you already know. Second, if it references a problem it’s usually written something like:
Paying to have studio-style coverage done. I provide screenplay coverage to over two-dozen production companies and have no idea why a screenwriter thinks this could possibly be helpful to them on a spec level. Why?
Jake goes to the address. The apartment has been broken into (SUSPENSE SCENE), and Jake finds the dead body of Ida Sessions, the phony Mrs. Mulwray. Water is dripping inexorably in the sink. The lettuce head and spilled groceries on the floor are a great creepy touch.
Zach Gilford – [1.35] — Back at home, an exhausted Jake has no sooner hit the bed when the phone rings. A hoarse voice says “Ida Sessions wants to see you.” Jake says she can come to his office in the morning and hangs up, but the caller calls back and insists, giving him an address. (Note the horse lithographs above Jake’s bed, tying him visually to Evelyn.)
Jake surprises Evelyn in her car, now coldly calling her Mrs. Mulwray. He accuses her of kidnapping her husband’s mistress and threatens to go to the police. Evelyn insists the young woman is her sister (she hits her head on the steering wheel before she reveals this — FORESHADOWING). She says she would never have harmed her husband; she only wanted him to be happy. The revelation that the girl is her sister makes Jake back off on going to the police, but he still doesn’t trust Evelyn; when she asks him to come back home with her he refuses, again calling her Mrs. Mulwray.
[1.30] Jake follows Evelyn to her mystery location. He spies on her through a window and sees her with the distraught blond girl that Jake thinks is Mulwray’s mistress. Evelyn forces the girl to take pills. (The way the girl is splayed on the bed face down is sexually vulnerable, a disturbing FORESHADOWING of her fate).
