Quentin Jerome Tarantino is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer and actor.

His films have earned him a variety of Academy Award, Golden Globe, BAFTA and Palme d'Or Awards and he has been nominated for Emmy and Grammy Awards. In 2007, Total Film named him the 12th-greatest director of all time.
