Today on Bookmarks we're talking to a young filmmaker who's just getting his feet wet in the NZ screen industry.

Te Waiarangi Ratana got his first professional job in the locations department for 'Wellington Paranormal' while he was still studying.

By the fourth season he was serving as third assistant director and helping out in the writers room.

Between seasons he worked on a variety of projects including films like 'Savage' and 'Cousins' and TV shows like 'Mystic' and 'Mr Corman'.

He recently premiered his own short film 'Manu Masters' at the Maoriland Film Festival.
