Rankin worked as a production assistant on pilots, tv movies, and commercials before moving up to production coordinator and production supervisor on features. As he gained experience, he continued to write and develop his stories while learning the pitfalls of production at nearly every budget level.Rankin is now moving ahead with an array of projects as writer/ director.
