Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on August 02, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Alex Frayne! May your day be filled with more drama than "Modern Love," fewer plot twists than "The Art of Tabloid," and enough excitement to rival the intrigue in "Doctor by Day." You've given us cinematic gems that keep audiences laughing, crying—and occasionally scratching their heads—in equal measure.

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success (and perhaps another short film as captivatingly mysterious as 2003's “The Longing”). Keep directing life's scenes brilliantly—just remember: birthdays are like films; they’re best enjoyed without spoilers. Cheers to many sequels ahead for our favorite Aussie auteur!
