Patty Schumann, festival director, YoFiFest, and William Dickerson, filmmaker, No Alternative.

On the heels of its worldwide release earlier this month, and a successful East Coast premiere at YoFiFest , the Yonkers Film Festival, last November, the indie film No Alternative celebrated an encore screening at the YoFiDMAC on the evening of Thursday, April 18.

No Alternative, which was written and directed by Yonkers native William Dickerson, is a coming of age film that tackles themes of addiction, suicide and mental illness and is loosely based on Dickerson’s life. The movie was shot and produced in Yonkers and Westchester County.
