Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on July 14, 1984)

Happy birthday to the one and only Alex Perry—master storyteller, indie innovator, and creator of remarkable cinematic gems like "Impolex" and "The Color Wheel." May your day be filled with fewer rewrites, more popcorn breaks, and dialogue as sharp and witty as your own screenplays.

Every year you write scenes that stick; characters who linger in our minds forever. Today we celebrate not just another turning of aged cheese wisdom but also the relentless creativity that's propelled you through festivals, accolades—and occasionally baffled yet delighted audiences. Cheers to another fantastic journey around life's indie circuit—may it always end with a standing ovation!
