Mark David Keegan (Writer)

After his experiences with great films like APOLLO 13, TITANIC, and GLADIATOR, Mark decided to turn off the DVD player and write a script himself.

When he was ten years old, he first learned of the story of Dixon, Tony, and Gene. Then a few years ago, Mark wondered what else there was to the story. Ninety sources and 800 citations later, he had a workable draft – and sent it off to The American Film Company.

Currently, Mark is at work on several more true stories.
