Hello. Thanks for doing this AMA! How do you go about keeping the movies accessible to fans of the books series? I guess what I mean by this is, the books are mainly written for pre-teens into high school ages, but is about an exceptionally violent subject. Were you always conscious of needing to try and translate this on to the big screen while still keeping it "PG" enough for some of the younger audiences?

Thanks again for doing the AMA, I really loved the way you filmed Catching Fire - especially the first half with the Victory Tour, etc.

Hi, Mr. Lawrence! Thanks for doing this AMA!

I have a lot of questions, but I'll just stick to this one. What are your thoughts on how movies are able to represent a story versus how TV can. It seems that these days, some of the very best visual and storytelling work is being done on television - à la Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones, etc. I loved the work you did with the IMAX cameras to enhance the scenes in the Arena - do you think these stunning visuals are the only thing keeping people going to the cinema?

As an addendum to that question - I know you have been a producer on tv shows, as well as directed some episodes of some. Would you consider signing on as a director with one of the "big" tv storytelling shows like Game of Thrones, or a mini-series you may not have seen - Top of the Lake, which had some truly excellent storytelling and visuals. How do you believe the job of directing a movie versus an episode of television is different/similar? Thanks again for doing this AMA!
