submitted by Reyreyreys Tv on 07/15/18 1

Forris Day explores the world of indie film & screenwriting with the top experts in the industry. Today, 'Detour' director William Dickerson discusses filmmaking on a micro-budget. EPISODE SUMMARY: Going through the process of writing, directing, and then finding distribution is a monumental task for any filmmaker. Three-time feature director William Dickerson decodes the scary process for the beginner, emphasizing that budget should play a role in every step of the process. He tells us of his adventures in a struggling Hollywood project that couldn't get off the ground -- the inspiration for his how-to book "DETOUR: Hollywood." Once he heard the words, "Who do I write the check to?" he knew his life would change forever. 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. He self-released his metafictional satire, "The Mirror," which opened YoFi Fest's inaugural film festival in 2013, and recently completed his third feature film, "Don't Look Back." His first book, "No Alternative," was declared, "a sympathetic coming-of-age story deeply embedded in '90s music" by Kirkus Reviews. Visit the author at: www.williamdickersonfilmmaker....
