Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on December 12, 1981)

Happy Birthday to the one and only Cam Archer—the filmmaker whose fearless creativity gave us "Shit Year," which somehow manages to be deeply profound yet simultaneously makes you chuckle every time someone unfamiliar has to ask, "Wait, what's it called?" Only your brilliant mind could craft narratives that stick with audiences as powerfully today as they did when first released.

From indie festivals buzzing about your groundbreaking storytelling talents, you've remained authentically yourself—always insightful but never predictable. Here's hoping this next year brings even more inspiration (and perhaps fewer awkward introductions explaining film titles). Cheers for another memorable spin around the sun!
