John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt

I, along with Paul Yates and other filmmakers in what we’re calling "The Fifth Wall" movement, are actively seeking to inject more of our personal lives into our work in order to combat the artifice of Hollywood’s current output--and we are calling on other filmmakers to do the same. Hollywood used to back indie film; now, we indie filmmakers are left to fend for ourselves.

"No Alternative" is the first official Fifth Wall film. Please help make it happen: http://igg.me/at/noalternative

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. His latest book, "DETOUR: Hollywood: How To Direct a Microbudget Film (or any film, for that matter)" is available now.
