Mark Cheatwood is an American film producer born in September of 1971 in Vinita, Oklahoma. His film career began as a writer of the sports drama, HOOPS, and co-producer of the thought-provoking feature film UNPLANNED, spearheading a wide-range of front-line producer responsibilities. Since then, Mark continues to work closely with studio and indie producers/directors/writers from Los Angeles to New York City on a number of character-driven genre films. He is the CEO and founder of SCEPTER FILMS production company.
Leading up to filmmaking, Mark was a successful inventor, businessman and manufacturer; owning multiple patents, trademarks and trade secrets, along with creating and shaping multiple businesses that sold to large conglomerates.
A former star athlete, Mark was the PG for Team Oklahoma's (RAMS) all-star basketball squad in two Junior Olympics. He went on to become a starting WR for the Oklahoma State University football team. He left his junior year to sign a free-agent baseball contract with the Texas Rangers Baseball Organization. However, he returned to OKST to play his senior football season but suffered a career-ending arm injury just before the season ended. The following year he became the offensive assistant to (then) new OKST football offensive coordinator Les Miles (HC/OKST, LSU, KU) but decided to step away from collegiate coaching the next year to supervise his growing business operations.
