The [alive not dead] Story

AliveNotDead.com unites the combined talents of the members of Alive and the founders of Rotten Tomatoes, the leading movie reviews and news web site.  

Members Conroy Chan, Andrew Lin, Daniel Wu and Terence Yin created Alive and the original AliveNotDead.com website to support and promote the movie, "The Heavenly Kings". A mockmentary following the rise and fall of the fictitious Hong Kong boyband Alive, the film provided a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges facing artists in Hong Kong. It also provided Hong Kong musicians with a platform to speak their minds about the state of the Hong Kong music scene, many issues of which apply to artists everywhere.

While making and promoting "The Heavenly Kings," Alive came to realize that it was not enough to make a statement regarding the industry if you did not work to address the issues raised. Rotten Tomatoes co-founder Patrick Lee served as the film's executive producer and, with Alive, developed the idea to create an online community that would be able to help artists in Hong Kong. A team
(which included a number of former Rotten Tomatoes team members) was formed in Hong Kong in January 2007 and the new web site was launched in April 2007. Since the launch, the community has grown rapidly to encompass artists and fans around-the-world with the single-minded purpose of helping to support the arts and artists worldwide.
