Your fearless creativity continues to inspire filmmakers and fans alike.

Here's hoping your birthday is as memorable as your groundbreaking visuals and storytelling. May you celebrate with fewer retakes than usual, more applause than ever before, and absolutely no edits from studio executives! Cheers to another year of pushing boundaries—keep rolling those cameras!
