Manoj
Nelliyattu Shyamalan (born 6 August 1970), known professionally as M.
Night Shyamalan, is a two-time Academy Award nominated Indian-born
American filmmaker and script writer of major studio films, known for
making movies with contemporary supernatural plots that usually climax
with a twist ending.
Shyamalan had an early desire to be a filmmaker when he was given a
Super-8 camera at a young age. Though his father wanted Shyamalan to
follow in the family practice of medicine, his mother encouraged
Shyamalan to follow his passion. By the time he was 17, Shyamalan, who
had been a fan of Steven Spielberg, had made 45 home movies. Beginning
with The Sixth Sense, he has included a scene from one of these
childhood films on each DVD release of his films, which he feels
represents his first attempt at the same kind of film
