Early in his life, his family lived in Texas, before moving to southern California, where they moved frequently. He began writing when he was stationed at Walker Air Force Base, when he wrote for the base newspaper. Later he studied journalism at the University of New Mexico, and later studied at a film school, in Berkeley, California. He also attended Eastern New Mexico University in Portales. In the late 1970s he moved to Los Angeles; during the eighties only one of his screenplays was produced, called Stacey’s Knights. The movie starred Kevin Costner, who later convinced him to produce Dances with Wolves, which won many awards (including an Oscar). After this production, he went on to do humanitarian work, and continued to write. He has recently begun work on a film adaptation of a sequel to Dances with Wolves. [1]
