William Dickerson is an award-winning filmmaker and author. His 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 book on filmmaking, "DETOUR: Hollywood - How To Direct a Microbudget Film," was called "candidly practical, thoroughly 'user friendly,' and an essential instruction guide – especially for independent filmmakers" by Midwest Book Review. He recently adapted his novel, "No Alternative," into a film that was released worldwide through Gravitas Ventures. The Los Angeles Times described the movie as "a remarkably assured and deeply felt grunge-era coming-of-age picture" and Film Threat called it "a rare indie gem that delivers solidly on all fronts."
