William Dickerson
United States
Registrace 1. 08. 2006
William Dickerson's debut feature film "Detour," which he wrote and directed, was hailed as an "Underground Hit" by The Village Voice, an "emotional and psychological roller-coaster ride" by The Examiner, and nothing short of "authentic" by The New York Times. His award-winning work has been recognized by film festivals across the country.
His first book, "No Alternative," was declared, "a sympathetic coming-of-age story deeply embedded in '90s music" by Kirkus Reviews. His book on filmmaking, "DETOUR: Hollywood: How To Direct a Microbudget Film (or any film, for that matter)," was called "candidly practical, thoroughly 'user friendly,' and an essential instruction guide-especially for independent filmmakers working on shoestring budgets" by Midwest Book Review.
He recently adapted and directed the film version of "No Alternative," which was released worldwide through Gravitas Ventures.

From the nuts and bolts of directing to getting your movie made and out into the world, this comprehensive filmmaking manual will lead you through every step of the process. Dive into such topics as: the two main ingredients of filmmaking, subtext and point of view; avoiding the trap of “style over substance”; and the importance of theme in your work. Also included are guidelines to beat out a script, a template for creating the perfect director's binder, and a list of dramatic action verbs to help adjust performance.
This is an essential book for amateur and professional filmmakers alike. It not only includes a detailed behind-the-scenes look at the thrilling, and often harrowing, pre-production, production, post-production, and distribution of my first feature, DETOUR, it also examines the filmmaking techniques behind numerous noteworthy films from the likes of Scorsese, Spielberg, Paul Thomas Anderson, and other master filmmakers.
"DETOUR: Hollywood" is a crash course in filmmaking that is both instructive and entertaining. Aspiring directors looking for answers -- look no further than this guide!

I love this movie. I just wish Roddy had more scenes. He was so good!
This movie changed my life. Thank you for making this
I really like the riff in Republican
I thoughts this was an alright enough looking movie when I kept seeing so many instagram ads for it in 2019, but now it just looks like garbage 💀
This movie was ass.
Love Aria.
Yes!!!!!!
The amount of times I listen to your album a day can’t be healthy but fuck it, GRUNGE LIVES ON 🤘🏼
Honestly adore you guys! Such an inspiration to me
the movie sucked
Do not watch this video. It's screamer here
Guy in the white kinda looks like Charlie from Always Sunny
No Alternative Movie
One of the best movies I’ve ever watched.
So glad you like the film!
Ron and Fez Rock and Ribs!
She's my new favorite rapper. We need more videos. Loved this movie 🙏🙏🙏
Disculpa, Aparece "Morgan Storm"? is a band of 1999-2005 I think
Post more Bri Da B. Thanks for No Alternative. I was in and out of institutions, while people around me comitted suicide. Im not the one thats crazy. FTW. Love this. RIP PIMPTOOTH
"Wood is such a blessing for Humanity" David Lynch, 2020
Kratom has helped me alot.
Loved this movie! I’m a 90’s kid too! I had to come onto CZcams to see if I could find more Bri Da B. Thank you for sharing her with us💜
And maybe the coolest
Where was this filmed?? Seattle??
Mike Harris yes the CZcamsr is my cousin
Definitely not shot in Seattle. Takes place in NY.
As someone who was alive in the 90s and well into alternative rock and grunge, this is NOT an accurate representation of how youth was and acted in the 90s. Some of the fashion are familiar....but we were NOT EVER known as the 'suicide generation'!!!! Don't know if the person who made this was a Boomer or a Millennial….but they were clearly NOT Generation X!!
It's about the director's sister, who died from overdose. In honour of her. She had a band called Bri Da Ba. It's not meant to represent a whole generation, it's just a personal chunk of it.
Hanna Gy. She’s my cousins mom
So this is what Landon did before joining the Salvatore school?
Rt
I found this, thanks to the movie "no alternative", a touching story, respect [*]
awesome check it out!!!!!
His voice kinda sounds like Mike Ness from Social Distortion
I’m almost positive that’s not his voice..
This is quite possibly the strangest thing on CZcams lol
Weston! <3
yes!
Can someone please explain wtf happened I'm so confused
eh.. I'll watch it
What song is that in the background?!?!
nick le need I was asking the same question earlier. Answer: Self - Cannon.
gäääääääääääääähn. boooooooooooooring
I was soooo queer baited
This cover of just like Kurt is better than any other I can find wtf
I didn't know about this bridge though I certainly like Nirvana. very cool! Nirvana's sound has totally influenced my own music making though I in no way sound like them! Thanks for sharing this with us.
Nice
I’m here for aria
SAME
Same
Me too!!!
Saw this film last night at the Garden State Film Festival. It is well acted and solid gem, with some serious directorial flair and humor. It deserves a lot more attention that it's getting. It's criminal that it has fallen through the cracks.
Weston!
1:32 the music gave me a migraine and I had to turn it off.
Is this from the book by jenifer armentrout
Super important work. Hoping it will be distributed widely so that the general public and schools and institutions can see it.
i would pound peyton so hard😂😂
I bought this movie via Google Play; Cassidy Freeman ❤️❤️❤️❤️…she’s gorgeous as the F word❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can’t wait for this !
weston for the win
