Sharmain Cuphane IMTA Fundraising Campaign
Hello. My name is Sharmain Cuphane, and I am 29 years of age. From October 5th to 8th, 2023, I participated at the International Arts Talent Showcase in Johannesburg and earned a call-back to attend the 2024 International Modelling and Talent Convention (IMTA) in the heart of New York — where industry giants and rising stars will converge. This will be an opportunity of a lifetime for me, but I cannot do it alone and would greatly appreciate your financial support in taking my gifts to an international stage.
I will be acting, as well as modeling at the convention where there will be over 300 international agents. I will participate in workshops, conferences and competitions at the convention. This will offer me unique advantages such as getting exposure to a diverse international audience, networking with industry leaders, skills development and the chance to present my gifts to on a global platform.
I started acting in theatre at the age of 11 and my passion is not just to entertain but to inspire through storytelling, aspiring to make a lasting positive impact on the entertainment industry. Attending the 2024 IMTA New York convention will help me refine my acting and modeling skills, as well as gain visibility and recognition within the entertainment industry.
The funds raised will go towards the following essential expenses: IMTA registration, showcase fees, flights, accommodation, pre-New York bootcamps, travel and health insurance, visa expenses, and more.
I believe that when I come back from the international convention I will not only bring back international exposure, but I hope that my journey will serve as an inspiration to others to pursue what they set their minds to, as well as contribute positively to the world through the use of their unique gifts.
Please kindly assist me in making New York the backdrop for my dreams.
Thank you so much for dedicating your time to read this, and for believing in me.
