Dear ECDC Team,
I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the Eastern Cape Development Corporation for sponsoring my participation at FAME Week Africa 2025 in Cape Town. Your generous support covered my flights, accommodation, meals, and access pass—making it possible for me to fully immerse myself in this life-changing experience.
As one of only five emerging filmmakers chosen to represent the Eastern Cape, I felt both honoured and inspired. FAME Week opened doors to invaluable networking opportunities, insightful sessions, and global connections that I could not have accessed otherwise. It was a privilege to carry the name of our province into such a prestigious space, and I am proud to have done so under the banner of the ECDC.
This experience has not only enriched my journey as a filmmaker but has also strengthened my resolve to create stories that represent and uplift voices from our region. The knowledge, contacts, and confidence I gained during this event will continue to shape my career for years to come.
Thank you once again for believing in me, investing in my vision, and championing the growth of the creative sector in the Eastern Cape. Your support makes dreams like mine possible.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Vicki Fourie
