Carter’s first book, Fools Rush In, first published by Doubleday in the UK and Wenner Books in the US, takes the reader on an emotional journey from Alaska to Sarajevo to the Southwest and back again. This memoir, which Jim Harrison called, “a memoir of grand dimension and its consciousness will become part of your life,” is a story of love, loss and the difference a single person can make, even when the odds seem insurmountable.
Participant Media - makers of such movies as “Good night and Good Luck," and "Syriana" and “Kite Runner” acquired the rights to the book. Carter penned the screenplay. Please check back for updates on production news.
In the last 15 years Carter has traveled to more than 45 countries. He is the director of Miss Sarajevo, the award-winning documentary, produced by Bono, who also wrote the theme song for the film. He has written for Rolling Stone, Men’s Journal, Gear and Spin magazine on topics such as drug trafficking in Mexico, where he investigated the brutal deaths of Tarahumara Indians by narco-traffickers, to the streets of Algiers, once listed as the most dangerous city in the world. He also wrote a story of his 300-mile journey in 30 days across the Utah desert with no more than a cup, a knife, a compass and an extra pair of socks. Bill also directed a short documentary on the American icon singer Emmylou Harris during the recording of Red Dirt Girl, as well as a documentary on the Tucson-based band Calexico. He also has made a behind the scenes short featuring the legendary cyclist Lance Armstrong.
