Let's make this birthday one to remember.

37 years old (Born on April 26, 1988)

Happy birthday, Ben Parslow! From weaving cinematic magic in "The Rat King" to claiming Portland Filmmaker of the Year (2011 felt like yesterday, didn't it?), you've always had an eye for drama—even if it's just making popcorn at movie nights.

Your creative journey inspires everyone who's ever thought about giving acting directions to rats. May your new year bring more successes—on-set triumphs, perfected scripts—and fewer rodents challenging you behind-the-scenes. Age is merely a number; filmmaking and storytelling are timeless arts that keep us forever young—or at least too busy laughing on set to notice otherwise!
