Biography

A career built on restraint, open country, and the people who stay.

From regional repertory stages to features he now writes and directs himself, Kevin Costner News has kept the same instinct: trust the silence, trust the landscape, trust the audience.

Early years

Raised between a working ranch and a two-screen cinema, the pull of both places never really settled.

A first stage role at seventeen turned into a decade of small parts and long drives.

Screen work

A run of character leads through the nineties gave way to directing, beginning with a modest western shot entirely in natural light.

The work since has favoured location shooting, small crews, and long takes.

Music and the road

The Wider Road began as a between-films outlet and became a touring band with three records behind it.

Benefit weekends remain the heart of the live schedule.
