Exclusive: No Alternative, the Harry Hamlin and Kathryn Erbe starring indie drama, is opening the Los Angeles-based festival Dances With Films on June 7 in what also is the William Dickerson-directed film’s world premiere. The drama that confronts mental illness while delving into the world of grunge-era teenagers also stars Michaela Cavazos and Conor Proft.

Bridget boldly rejects her brother’s music, and the music of an entire generation of slackers, by taking on the persona of a gangsta’ rapper named Bri Da B.”
The character of Bridget was inspired by the filmmaker’s late sister who,...
