NO ALTERNATIVE is a coming-of-age drama that drills a hole into the world of suburban American teenagers in the early 90's. Thomas Harrison is determined to start his own alternative band, an obsession that blinds him to what's either the mental collapse, or the eruption of musical genius, of his little sister, Bridget. Bridget boldly rejects her brother's music, and the music of an entire generation of slackers, by taking on the persona of an X-rated gangsta' rapper named "Bri Da B." No Alternative probes the lives of rebellious kids who transition into adulthood via the distortion pedals of their lives in an era when the "Sex, Drugs & Rock'n'Roll" ethos was amended to include "Suicide" in its phrase.
Autorenporträt
William Dickerson is a 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 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 second book, "DETOUR: Hollywood: How To Direct a Microbudget Film (or any film, for that matter)," is available now. Midwest Book Review writes: "'DETOUR: Hollywood' is candidly practical, thoroughly 'user friendly', and an essential instruction guide - especially for independent filmmakers working on shoestring budgets." His writing has been published by MovieMaker Magazine, Filmmaker Magazine, Indiewire, The Wrap, Script Magazine, Film Slate Magazine, The Talkhouse, SineScreen Magazine and SaveTheCat.com. His latest novel, "The Dreamachine," is in bookstores now and he recently adapted "No Alternative" into a motion picture starring Michaela Cavazos, Conor Proft, Chloe Levine, Kathryn Erbe and Harry Hamlin.
