Overview
Alan Ball: Conversations features interviews that span
Alan Ball's entire career and include detailed observations and
insights into his Academy Award-winning film American
Beauty and Emmy Award-winning television shows Six Feet
Under and True Blood. Ball began his career as a
playwright in New York, and his work soon caught the attention of
Hollywood television producers. After writing for the sitcoms
Grace Under Fire and Cybill, Ball turned his
attention to the screenplay that would become American
Beauty. The critical success of this film opened up exciting
possibilities for him in the realm of television. He created the
critically acclaimed show Six Feet Under, and after the
series finale, he decided to explore the issue of American bigotry
toward the Middle East in his 2007 play All That I Will Ever
Be and the film Towelhead, which he adapted and
directed in the same year. Ball returned to television once again
with the series True Blood--an adaptation of the humorous,
entertaining, and erotic world of Charlaine Harris's vampire
novels. In 2012 Ball announced that he would step down as executive
producer of True Blood, in part, to produce both a new
television series and his latest screenplay, What's the Matter
with Margie?
