His films have been characterized by nonlinear storylines , satirical subject matter and an aestheticization of violence that often results in the exhibition of neo-noir characteristics. [ 10 ] Tarantino has been dubbed a "director DJ," comparing his stylistic use of mix-and-match genre and music infusion to the use of sampling in DJ exhibits, morphing a variety of old works to create a new one. [ 11 ] Born in Knoxville, Tennessee, Tarantino grew up an avid film fan and worked in a video rental store while training to act. His career began in the late 1980s, when he wrote and directed My Best Friend's Birthday ; its screenplay would form the basis for True Romance .
