Quentin Tarantino

Quentin Jerome Tarantino (born March 27, 1963) is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer, and actor. In the early 1990s, he worked as an independent filmmaker, using non-linear storytelling and the aestheticization of violence in his films. His works have earned him various Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, BAFTA Awards, and Palme d'Or awards, and he has been nominated for Emmy and Grammy Awards.

In 2007, Total Film ranked him as the 12th best director of all time. Tarantino was born in Queens, New York, to Connie McHugh Tarantino Zastoupil, a health administrator and nurse who was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, and Tony Tarantino, an actor and amateur musician who was born in Queens, New York. His mother left school at 17 and allowed him to attend full-time acting classes instead. While attending acting school, Tarantino dropped out of acting. He stated that he admired directors much more than actors. Before becoming a film producer, Tarantino worked at a video rental store, closely engaging with the film genres that people loved to rent, and cited this experience as an inspiration for his directing career.In 2007, Total Film ranked him as the 12th best director of all time.
