William Dickerson

William Dickerson is a filmmaker and author whose debut feature film, Detour, 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 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 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.” William serves as an adjunct assistant professor at Hofstra University’s Lawrence Herbert School of Communication and teaches screenwriting at AMDA’s College and Conservatory of the Performing Arts.
