Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on March 04, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Alex Holdridge! May your day be filled with more laughs and fewer midnight kisses gone hilariously wrong. Your knack for capturing life's awkward yet charming moments has given us indie gems that keep us smiling—and occasionally cringing—in the best possible way.

From "In Search of a Midnight Kiss" to your continued success in independent cinema, you've shown audiences everywhere how beautifully messy life can truly be. Here's hoping this year brings you even more inspiration, unforgettable adventures (preferably ones without too many embarrassing mishaps), and plenty of reasons to celebrate!

Cheers to another fantastic trip around the sun!
