Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on January 31, 1969)

Happy birthday, Daniel Moder! May your day be perfectly lit—just like one of your masterful scenes. You've captured breathtaking visuals that stick with audiences everywhere, from the raw emotion in "The Normal Heart" to the thrilling intensity of "Secret in Their Eyes." Clearly, you've mastered the art of storytelling through your lens.

Here's wishing you a new year filled with more awards and fewer out-of-focus moments (although those accidental blurry shots might win Avant-garde praise too!). Keep dazzling us all and may every candle on your cake have impeccable cinematic lighting this year! Cheers to another excellent chapter ahead.
