Hey guys,

What a week, and it's not even over yet! I've literally been sending out hundreds of e-mails a day asking for support and simply asking people to check out the stop-motion video. Things are really kicking into high-gear and I couldn't be happier...yet we're still far away from the goal!

Special thanks go out to my lovely mother, Tina Tepsic, who donated $1,000 to the fund. I love you, Mom!

Shout outs go to: Ron Reason, Joan Ko, Cameron Huppertz, Kainoa Raymond, Alelx Knight, Dillon Lundeen-Goldschlag, Ames, Matt Gorman, Nick Grass, Michael, Kevin Van Belois, and Jodi.

Special thanks to my good friends Dave Matte, Josh Lester, and Nickee Sayarath.

Please help by spreading the word, spread the video, and let's keep a positive view on this project!

Some recent write-ups I've received:

Hopefully more will be on the way, cheers and thanks again guys!

Good morning everybody living in North America, and good night to those in Asia...here is the second video of "Questions with Morgan". Please enjoy, and if you're ever curious...let me know!

...also stop e-mailing Kickstarter about putting my project on the front page, they e-mailed me telling me I was stupid for even suggesting that...which I totally was. So instead e-mail your mother today and tell her how much you love her. (or me, whichever)

I think you guys should know I've literally been sending out hundreds of e-mails these past few days showing people the previous video I showed you. The response has been CRAZY! Over $1,200 has been raised because of it! I'm literally e-mailing anybody with a website, a love for art, and an e-mail address.

I asked people who frequent my blog to ask some questions relating to my project and of course some random questions. Since I am basically spending 90% of my time sitting in front of my computer these days, I decided to make daily videos of questions being asked by "the people". I hope this gives you a better look inside my mind!

Here's the first round of questions, feel free to message me your own and I'll answer them!

Cheers and enjoy,
Morgan

Hey everybody,

I made a stop-motion video composed of previous shoots to help spread the word about this project! I hope you can help pass the video and project around to as many people that would be interested!

As always, if you want to get in contact or have a question, please let me know!

Enjoy!

I wrote a lengthy blog post about how much this project means to me, how close I hold it to my heart, and how far I'm willing to go to pursue this dream. You can read it over here on my blog.

I'm literally writing e-mails and sending out postcards every day now in hopes of funding more funding for this amazing project. I've even asked Kickstarter if they wouldn't mind putting me on the front page, among other cool projects.

Shout outs go to Alesa Clymer, Charlotte, Lightrapping Blog, Billy Dixon, Lionel Lenoir, Felicia, and Sarah Jayne Keck! We're almost to our first $1,000!!

I have also signed a contract with a production company based in San Francisco, CA. They are contributing $2,100 for this project, as well as assisting me with an exhibition in San Francisco when the project is completed! I'm also working about four jobs a week towards contributing to this project as well! I'm willing to do everything necessary to make this happen!

Thanks again guys, you all are amazing. If you ever have a question or anything, feel free to message me.

Some awesome activity happening on this Kickstarter project this week!

First off, I want to thank Chicago-based artist Vikton Van Bramer who pledged $100 towards this amazing project. Many thanks to him, and be sure to check out his artwork!

Many thanks to Danie Peace, Will Davies, and Hyuewon Lee for your contributions as well!

I have an exciting announcement to make with you all very soon, possibly later this week. But in the mean-time, please take 10 minutes out of your day to tell a friend about this amazing art project. Friends, family, fellow artists and co-workers. I need all the help I can get to make this project happen, and I can't do it without awesome people lending a hand!

Again, everybody helping out with this project is amazing, and I appreciate it to no end.

In addition to sending out my postcards to backers of my project, I've also been sending out postcards to people I admire, investors, and anybody that might be interested in my project!

So I decided to mail Tony Hayward, CEO of BP! If you can't read my hand-writing, it says:

"Yo Tony!

I have this awesome project that needs help funding! I saw you still have some extra cash and time to chill on your yacht! I only want $10,000 which is WAY less than what my country wants from you for fucking up the Gulf of Mexico!

Cheers!
Morgan Tepsic"

Keeping my fingers crossed! Be on the look out for a naked short film to be released soon! :D

This week's jump was taken at South Korea's Han River...

Hope you enjoy!

Thanks to Noah Kalina, photographer based out of Brooklyn, NY for helping my project by pledging! His photography is dope, so be sure to check his work out!

Shout out to Christian Villacillo, photographer based out of Canada who will have his name written on my body if all works out! His photography is dope as well, check it out!

Thanks to Jay Casey, interweb commentary blogger from Brooklyn, he's a silly dude with an equally insane blog. Check it!

And last but not least, thanks to my loving Mother and Carlos Mejia! You guys rock!

My kickstarter project is also on facebook, please help spread the word on there as well if you can!
