Alan Ball says TV more grown up than film

True Blood creator Alan Ball is a big fan of the Australian television series Rake, which he says is another great example of how television is able to be a lot more grown up and complicated than film.
Ball, who also created Six Feet Under and wrote the film American Beauty, is in Australia for two on-stage conversations in Sydney and Melbourne.
While he has worked in both television and film, Ball says the small screen is able to tackle more sophisticated storylines.
"Partially it's because the economic models are different and partially it's because you have hours and hours to tell a story where as in a movie you just have two hours and you have to simplify everything down to its pure essentials.
"I also feel that in America, at least, movies are all targeted at 15-year-olds and there's nothing wrong with that, they're the ones that are buying tickets, but as an adult I feel that TV is a much more welcoming place for complicated, adult writing."

I'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through my life weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing  the internet searching on how I could be transformed into a powerful person when I came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a  VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
