On my trip to Cape Town last week for the Premiere I was fortunate enough to have timed it to coincide with the Silicon Cape Networking event, the Netweb Event and the 27Dinner. However my timing sucked in that I missed the biggest party in Long Street, Cape Town by 5 days!

At the Netweb event I met Fraser of Absolute Magazine – a hip luxury metropolitan lifestyle online magazine. He liked my matchstick business card, and when the one matchstick Movie went live, he and Warren listed it in the magazine.

They got double the amount of views in the first day of the movie listed in their magazine, than YouTube got. So they challenged me, saying they bet they'll get more views than YouTube. Ooohh!

I'm always up for a challenge, so I took them on! We're going to see which listing of the onematchstick movie has the most views by midday Friday 11 December:
The local Absolute Magazine listing OR the YouTube listing.

So help me out. You decide where to view the onematchstick movie, and either go to Absolute Magazine (and I'm not going to help you with a link here to the page to make it easy) or, even better, go and be a true fan to ME and view the listing on YouTube here by clicking here so I win this challenge (I've made it quite easy to go to YouTube here to see the YouTube one matchstick movie - just with one click here you'll get there- easy peasy). And while you're there watching it quickly (it's only 4:51 mins), leave a comment or rating :)

Also let your friends know about this challenge, and get them to choose (the YouTube listing here, of course!)

;)

Thank you!

Filming of the onematchstick movie is in full swing!

I met up with the rockstars at Missing Link a few weeks ago and got introduced to the multi-talented Jarrod: my producer, editor and camera man. The team talked me through their ideas which I loved, and without giving too much away, here's a sneak peak behind the scenes of the onematchstick Movie.

Eran Eyal, one of the guys who I am busy trading the T-shirts with, was in Jozi at the right time, and we grabbed the opportunity to shoot a scene or two with him. He fitted us in his busy schedule and we met up at Primi Piatti Rosebank. Springleap T-shirts were all over the place, and we had loads of fun!

I had my first taste of what it must be like to be a movie star- and it's turned out to be not as easy as I imagined. We worked on the script right there and then, and thank goodness my friend Gen came along for the fun, as she helped me get the script just right (she also took a lot of the photo's- Thanks Gen!). There's a lot to tell about my story, but only a short amount of time to get what I want to say across, so we had to choose the words wisely. And then I had to remember them! From the excitement of it being T-shirt Trade day - the day I started trading the T-shirts - and the first film shoot, plus the fact that I had only got a few hours of sleep, we had a good laugh at my few tongue-tied moments!

Eran's a fascinating guy- besides the passion he has for Springleap and their Tee's, he has a passion for life that's extraordinary and catchy. He left his mark on the movie with some of his creative, in the moment ideas and we even learnt a bit about martial arts after the shoot!

So for our first shoot, it was a great hour or so with lots of laughs, and we even got to hear Jarrod say "that's a wrap people!"

Well, I made a movie!

bidorbuy is giving away R50 k and I'm hoping my movie will help me win it!

If you think my little flick is the bomb, then how about voting for me!

And then the question becomes: What will you do for R3000 cash? Make me an offer, and perhaps I'll vote for your suggestion!
