With the recent news that Taika Waititi will direct and co-write a Star Wars film it's easy to be inspired by this man. What's even more inspiring is the fact that he comes from a small town on the east coast of the north island of Aotearoa.

He's proving time and time again that your start in life doesn't have to determine how far you can go, and that when you do get there you can do it by creating in the way that love to create.

These are just my thoughts and emotions in relation to this awesome news!
