Born: August 05 1970

Manoj Nelliyattu Shyamalan, known professionally as M. Night Shyamalan, is an Indian American writer-director of major studio films, known for making movies with contemporary supernatural plots that usually climax with a twist ending. He is also known for filming his movies in and around Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Shyamalan released his first film, Praying with Anger, in 1992 while he was a New York University student. His second movie, the major feature film Wide Awake, made in 1995 but not released until 3 years later, failed to find financial success. Shyamalan gained international recognition when he wrote and directed 1999's The Sixth Sense, which was nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. He followed The Sixth Sense by writing and directing Unbreakable, released in 2000, which received mixed reviews and performed poorly during its domestic release. His 2002 film Signs gained both critical and financial success, but The Village was a critical and commercial disappointment, and Lady in the Water was a commercial failure receiving mostly negative reviews. His latest movie The Happening was also a critical failure.
