He is known to fame as one who with but the slenderest resources to support his claim to a throne won for himself the greatest empire among the Hellenes (Greeks), while the growth of his position was not due so much to his prowess in arms as to his adroitness and cordiality in diplomacy.” YearsEndsGrowthKnownSupportPositionArmsKingsFameResourcesClaimsDuesGreekEmpiresThronesDiplomacyPhilipProwessMacedoniaCordiality Author:Diodorus Siculus

“Filmmakers need to give the audience that something extra, an incentive to spend money and go to the multiplex - the ticket prices are high.

So I emphasize the importance of mid-range films. But those films need the support of theatre owners. The theatre chains have to have the vision to realize the need to support smaller films for the growth of the domestic film industry.” GivingHomeFilmGrowthRealizingVisionSupportAudienceImpossibleImportanceTheatreFilmmakerExtras Author:Gordon Chan
