William Dickerson is a writer and director 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 "authentic" by The New York Times.

The original action drama series, Matador, which launched on El Rey Network in July, will not return for a second season. The show was created by Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman, and ended its 13 episode run in October. Despite initial high hopes for the drama – the pilot of which was directed by network founder Robert Rodriguez – low international sales apparently played a significant part in the network’s decision not to renew. In a statement regarding the cancellation, El Rey Network explained its choice.
“Ultimately, it was a business decision but to be clear, we were very proud of the series on every level – creatively it hit the mark and we are gratified that it celebrated diversity in front of the cameras and behind the scenes. We want to thank everyone involved, from the extraordinarily talented cast and crew to the amazing production team. We appreciate all that they have...

Brea Grant is an actress, director, screenplay and comic book writer, who is best know for her role as Daphne Millbrook - the spunky heroine with super speed on Heroes. Brea took some time to speak with AfterEllen.com about her upcoming guest-starring role on the Logo webseries Eastsiders, and her other exciting projects currently in the works.

AfterEllen: You are guest staring in an upcoming episode of the Logo webseries, Eastsiders, which focuses on a gay couple, Tom and Cal, who are in a long term relationship, and the man that comes between them, Jeremy. You play Jeremy’s sister Bri, who is a lesbian with a young family, who seems to have it pretty much together. I’ve watched the series and it’s a pretty raw and realistic look at commitment (or lack thereof) and modern relationships.

A little more than halfway through William Dickerson’s Detour, the film’s protagonist, trapped in his truck deep underground, takes a moment to ponder and appreciate a tiny ant that has crawled into his vehicle (and potential tomb). The ant bites him. So much for kinship amongst the tiny and powerless. The metaphor is both obvious and apt—before the immensity of Nature, best-laid plans and self-centric lives are absurdly inconsequential. Ignore this disparity at your own peril. (But don’t be afraid to put up a fight, anyway.)...

Title: Detour Director: William Dickerson Starring: Neil Hopkins, Brea Grant I guess to call “Detour,” director William Dickerson’s micro-budgeted drama of confinement and descent into madness, by a more accurate moniker, “Mudslide,” would be to court an unfortunate array of jokes centered around bodily excretions. But, seemingly taking “Buried” and Danny Boyle’s “127 Hours” as its inspiration, the movie spends most of its time trapped in a SUV covered with the detritus of a muddy landslide. While not lacking for decent acting or technical execution, the movie’s lead and de facto host is, as written, something of a cipher, leaving one wishing for MacGyver, or even MacGruber, to tackle a similar dilemma.

The critical success of 2010′s Buried didn’t exactly cause a wave of claustrophobic copycats, but a few similarly structured films found their way into production in the past few years. Wrecked saw Adrien Brody trapped in his car after an accident, and Stephen Dorff was stuffed in a trunk (hurray!) for Brake. All three films, for better or worse, had storylines “outside” the single location (car, coffin) that offered additional narrative momentum beyond a simple survival story. Director/co-writer William Dickerson‘s feature debut, Detour, forgoes that additional layer to focus almost exclusively on one man trapped in a confined space and desperate to escape. Is that enough to keep viewers’ attention for ninety minutes? Yes. And no. And yes. Jackson (Neil Hopkins) awakens at the wheel of his car with the engine stalled and the airbag deployed. It’s pitch black outside his windows, but what he mistakes at first for nightfall is in fact...

Dickerson’s Trapped-without-escape Ordeal Swims More Than Sinks
Utilizing a minimum amount of characters and locations within a trapped in a car, freak mudslide buried alive template, William Dickerson’s debut feature draws inevitable comparisons to the stuck between a rock and a hard place denouements recently pitched in Rodrigo Cortés’ Buried and Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours. Detourhas, literally, more space to play with than its predecessors by presenting auds with a more familiar setting of the automobile, but while the ubiquity of a car enhances the idea of “this could happen to anyone”; such “familiarity” pretends to make this an even more terrifying experience than it really is.
Jackson Aider (Neil Hopkins) is a typical out-of-state transplant that has come to California to find luck in the entertainment industry. Now working in advertisement, Jackson lives with his pregnant wife in Los Angeles. An ordinary existence until one rainy day,...

As director William Dickerson notes on the website for "Detour," the film was one that was conceived out of pragmatic need, but still fueled with creative spirit. "It was something we could afford to do, outside of the Hollywood machine," he writes, calling the film an "experiment in the simplicity of filmmaking." The result is a contained thriller that takes place largely inside a car, but boasts a concept that requires directorial skill and acting acumen to pull off. In this exclusive clip from the movie, we see both director and actor bring their best for the fore. Starring Neil Hopkins ("Skyline," "Lost") and Brea Grant ("Heroes," "Dexter"), "Detour" follows ad man Jackson Alder, who has just left a lunch meeting, when his car is swept away by a massive mudslide. Trapped, he must fight for his survival if he's to see his loved ones again. In this sequence from the movie,...

Here's a trailer for a new thriller called Detour about a man that gets buried alive in his car and has to struggle to survive. I would absolutely hate to be buried alive in anything. Especially since I happen to get a little claustrophobic. I think I would just go insane if there was really no way out. This new film is basically Ryan Reynolds' Buried, only it takes place in a car.
The movie stars Neil Hopkins (Lost, Skyline) and Brea Grant (Heroes, Friday Night Lights). The story follows a man driving home who ends up being buried in a massive mudslide. Here's the full synopsis,
On the road to a high-powered lunch meeting, smooth-talking ad man Jackson Alder is brainstorming his next big pitch when he is blindsided by Mother Nature. Swallowed up by a devastating mudslide, he awakens to darkness. Alone underneath an avalanche of mud,...

For some, being buried alive is among their top fears. That's exactly the scenario the lead character in William Dickerson's new film Detour is in.

Directed by William Dickerson, Detour stars Neil Hopkins as a businessman who finds himself blindsided by mother nature and buried under an avalanche, with only his car and what little air remains in it for shelter. The trailer below shows his predicament and his realization that no one is coming to save him, which means if he wants to survive this ordeal, he's on his own.

What would you do to survive? Gravitas Ventures has debuted the first trailer for another contained thriller called Detour, this time taking place almost entirely inside of a car. The story is simply about an "ad man" named Jackson, played by Neil Hopkins, whose car gets trapped in a rock/mudslide and he ends up stuck. Yea it's a lot like Buried or Devil (it even has a two-syllable one-word name), but inside of a car, and it looks like things get crazy. It looks like there's flashbacks, of course, which is where actress Brea Grant comes into play. As wild as this looks, I can't help but say I need to see it to find out what goes on, and how it ends.
