THE MOVIE GUY GOES TO COMIC CON CAPE TOWN

The Movie Guy is heading to the Mother City's biggest pop culture event, Comic Con Cape Town in April - and he is going to need your help.

Okay… So I’m going to Comic Con Cape Town in April and I’m going to need your help. Africa’s biggest pop culture event is slowly moving up to the Mother City’s shores and I’ll be there to witness it. Super awesome, I know but here’s the thing – I can’t do it alone. Here is where the help comes in, in case you were wondering I need to raise funds to attend the event, so I’m calling on friends, family, stangers, Vulcans, droids, other worldly beings and the Elves of Middle-Earth to sponsor me. You can give me a $5 or a $1000 whatever the wizards compel you to give It is all for a good cause and will be highly appreciated I’m guessing you ’ re waiting on reason why you should sponsor me; well first of all it will be dream come true for 9-year old Barry, who was bullied for being different And secondly, I want to once again be one of the journalists who get to cover such a great event.

It is an honour that I keep getting invited to these once in a lifetime events over and over again It kind of seems like the organisers see something in me Anyway, being able to work as journalist at this event will be a career milestone and I can only do it with the right help.

I truly trust that there will be people who can sponsor me If I could fund this trip myself then I would have, but unfortunately years of struggling as freelance reporter doesn’t allow me to. And it’s not like I haven’t tried doing something else This isn’t supposed to be some sad story, just me hoping that someone will find it in their heart to help.

I truly believe that Comic Con Cape Town will open doors for me, and God knows I need some open doors So Do you have any other questions? Oh… What is Comic Con Cape Town? Well I posted something about that earlier, but here’s a link. In short it is a convention that celebrates movies, comics, artists, illustrators and all things pop culture, so it’s right in my wheelhouse. I can go on and on about what a great event it will be in one of the greatest citi in the world. So hang tight over the next few weeks as I will share more on the convention If you are able to sponsor me, then please send me an email Alternatively, you can contact me on social media or leave a comment here If you want me to send you a breakdown of my expenses, then I will gladly do so. Like I said any sponsorship will help, because I need all the help I can get I am building a career and I am building a brand It doesn’t just take a village to raise a child; it also takes a village to build a dream.
