Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on February 12, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Gerald! May your day be as imaginative and intriguing as the worlds you've crafted in "Franklyn." Your knack for blending reality with fantasy has left audiences both amazed and delightfully puzzled—just like trying to explain the plot of your film at a dinner party!

Here's hoping this year brings you even more success, inspiration, and perhaps fewer people asking if there's going to be a sequel. Keep writing those mind-bending stories that make us question our sanity (in the best possible way). Cheers to another fantastic orbit around the sun—and remember: reality is overrated anyway!
