Fresh out of Shortland Street, actor Matt Walker has filmed US romantic movie Love Knots and is currently marketing his new short film, Small Waves.
Last year, Walker adapted the film from the book White Lies, Maori Legends and Fairy Tales.
"I knew it was a story that would translate well on to the screen," Walker tells "Spy. I met the writer Falstaff Dowling-Mitchell at a function and asked if he would be interested in developing a short film."
Small Waves is the story of three school friends, John, Pete and Wendy and their quest to achieve the seemingly impossible — they must outsmart school bully Wiremu at afterschool rugby trials and score a try against him.
