Hey All!

Wow these last few months have been crazy and yet very exciting. Where to even begin...

Firstly E.V.E.N.T have partnered up with Alivenotdead to run events and so far we have been on an amazing ride. We of course have SPEAK UP! for artists the first Wednesday of every month. We were hosting them at M1NT but the next one which will be on  Wednesday December 2nd will be held at the Cavern in LKF! Very exciting!. Hope to see you all there!

We are doing 6 events over the next 2 months for Ogilvy named 'City of Nights' at different venues around HK including Beijing club, DROP, ROXY, and Club 9. All with a different theme. Our last event featured 24 Herbs

E.V.E.N.T is also doing GROUNDED event monthly. An old school hip hop and funk night at Philia lounge. We have also just had our commercial screened at Clockenflap and will be having a screening very soon. Our commercial features alivenotdead artists working here in HK. Its a motivational commercial about believing in yourself and making things happen! :) Look out for our event postings here on alivenotdead or check out our website : artisteventscompany.com

Thanks to our very talented photographer Elden Cheung.

Our Halloween party 'DEAD NOT ALIVE' was a huge success with over 1000 people attending at Zuma. E.V.E.N.T, Alivenotdead and Zuma all worked very hard to put this event on for you all and we are very proud of the results. We had a great time and the feedback has been very encouraging. Thank you all for your support! The reviews and photos speak for themselves..Whats next you ask?..Well... New years eve party! That's right! Details coming very soon. Save the date people because WE will be promising a very exciting event for you all!

My business partner/ partner Roger De Leon aka Re:Flex made the Hong Kong hot list 20 people in HK to  watch out for. They mentioned what Roger is doing here with his music and our events GROUNDED and Speak up!. Check out the article here: http://www.cnngo.com/hong-kong/none/hong-kong-hot-list-20-people-watch-005884

Besides all the events we have been organizing and hosting I have been teaching weekly adult acting classes that have been going really well. They have been so enriching and inspiring and its so good to be teaching adults from all walks of life. Some with years of experience and others new to learning the beautiful craft of ACTING! I'm teaching Improvisation, Scene work, Meisner technique, stanislavski, Theatre, Film and audition technique.

Missed out on the 48 hour Film Festival because I was working all weekend...why Halloween weekend?! Bring on next years fest!

Director Patrice Poujol    informed us recently that our film 'The Other End Of The Gun' in which I play the leading lady was nominated 'Best International Film' at the Irland Film Festival and won 'Best Photographer' at the Corby Film Festival. Its headed to another 7 film festivals around the world. Very exciting considering we shot the whole film in only 2 and a half  days in HK city on next to NO budget!

My last acting gig was last Thursday on the set of JASMINE with director/Screen writer Dax Phelan and actor Jason Tobin. Working opposite Jason was an honor and I had the best time. It was the first feature film I have worked on in Asia and I just didn't want the experience to end. Its not easy being a western English speaking actress here in Hong Kong and when these opportunities do come up I feel truly blessed. I have been working so hard in the last months helping other artists find work its nice to get some of my own looking forward to seeing the stills from the wonderful Berton Chang who is working on the set as the still photographer. It was also an absolute pleasure working with Jen Thym again after Lumina and one of my best friends and most talented make up artists here:  Hiromi Naka.
Good luck with the rest of filming guys! Bring on the wrap party

Well that's me for now. Promising you all a re vamped E.V.E.N.T alivenotdead page coming soon. With the E.V.E.N.T commercial shot by Derrick Fong .See you all at our events. Through the tough times stay strong, remember your vision and drive in life because
 'YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN' . x

ALICE AMU-Singer/Composer
Alice holds a deep connection with her music, which can be felt and shared by everyone who watches her on stage. Her music has been described as addictive, for the inability to throw it into one category keeps it universal. The out-of-box chord progressions along with the intensity of the lyrics combine to form not just a song for the listener, but an experience.

First coming to the public conscience as back vocalist, Alice is soon to be known more for her incredible vocal tone and delivery, and the hook laden songs that grab you from first listen and don't let go.

Alice's debut single 'MOLTING' is schedule to release on November 2009.

Since the launch we have had Speak up! events every month for artists at MINT. We have now officially joined partnership with Alivenotdead to organize events. We are really excited and feel blessed to have such incredible support for the arts. That is our vision. We have also had monthly GROUNDED events. An old school hip hop and funk night at Philia lounge. Our DP Derrick Fong filmed the two last events and we cant wait to share these with you.

We have also be out filming around HK for our E.V.E.N.T commercial. This commercial will showcase artists here in HK and what we E.V.E.N.T do as a company. Featuring AND artist's! We will be launching the commercial next month and it will be screened at different festivals around HK, TV, The Web and events. More behind the scene shots coming soon! Here a just 2 for now :)

Vince Chung & I 'Acting' in a soap for our commercial. So serious! :)


Our next Speak up! event is at MINT October 7th and we featuring Maggie Hou. Save the date : October Speak up!

Acting wise I have turned down quite a lot lately due to my crazy life. Looking for the right roles and ones that will be challenging. I featured in the CB fresh music video as a sassy real estate agent : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmXi2-SjkOQ

and another short film that were both selected for the I Shot HongKong Film festival.



I also feature in LUMINA episode 6. My character (Serena Fong) and profile view here> Bring on season 2! Hopefully Jen gets funding for this and we will be filming another season.

For 2 months over summer I was directing different musicals every week at CMW performing arts center for kids. I was directing musicals such as CATS, High School Musial, The little Mermaid, Charlie Brown & Grease. The largest number I had to direct was 48 kids! It was pretty crazy. I was the only director and I only had 4 hours to cast, block direct and choreograph a whole performance that was performed at the end of each week. I am about to start teaching an acting class for teens again and am hoping to start adult classes within the next month or so. Yaye! :)

Choreographing dance scenes.

Just too cute!

Miss Kate doing her thing..

 I just cast 4 beautiful models for a Diamond cooperate calender. Big stuff. I'm really proud of the casting. The girls were amazing and we had a bunch of fun on set!
I did the fittings at Philia Home special thanks to Winnie Lam and the girls wore dresses from Anniewho ! Who else right!? Thanks Annie! :)




So finally a blog about what I have been busy doing. I am cutting my teaching days back next month to focus more on being the producer of E.V.E.N.T and all the exciting projects we have on the pipe line. Also to hopefully have more time for acting work that may come my way. I want to say one last special thank you to brother Derrick Fong who has been filming all our footage for our commercial and will be filming our events from now on. He is an amzing talent! Also another very special thank you to Elden Cheung who has been our E.V.E.N.T photographer since we launched in April last year and has taken photos for us at every single event! You can view Elden's sight and all our events here: http://www.fotop.net/Gma/EVENT

Hope to all see you at Speak up!

Music does matter and so do YOU!

What an amazing week last week. E.V.E.N.T started with GROUNDED event at Philia lounge headlined DJ ENSO. Up on the Mic MK Pastelle got the party moving along with DJ Constant Lee and our boy Re:Flex. Next GROUNDED event will be June 20th headlining GHOSTYLE. One not to miss!




Wednesday we celebrated our 13th Speak up! event and the very first at our new venue MINT.The night was truly sensational.Belly dancing by Karina B & Anita W, MK Pastelle on the mic with a surprise performance from Gretchell Yaneza,DJ John Li,The beautiful Kim Haslam ,The Metro Group  who are absolutely mind blowing.I'm so proud of these boys who opened for Music Matters early on Tuesday morning! and CB FRESH's new music video! What a night! Thanks to all the artists who performed and to Cheung Dha Lam for making me a Kate Sullivan Dai Fu Lou T shirt!


Thursday morning I got myself out of bed with my artist's pass to the Music Matters conference. E.V.E.N.T was a proud supporting partner this year and it was so awesome to see our logo come up so many times on the screens. The confrence was such an eye opener to me not just as a company for social networks/artist's but as a artist myself living here in HongKong.How much we as artist have to work so hard to promote ourselves and what we do.Reality...Music is here to stay and the way in which we can share music and support music is advancing through technology.
The confrence ended with a performance from Jamie Callum who looked about 12 years old bless him and sang like an angel.When he made those sound beating at the piano my heart stopped...wow...MUSIC!...Magic! :)

We kept drinking and networking into the evening at JJs and I was lucky enough to meet the sexy and talented Shairah from Vancouver and Robert Vicencio.



Thank you Alivenotdead for giving artist the opportunity to attend this event and to Patrick for mentioning E.V.E.N.T as another hub for artists to be exposed and show case their talent.

And finally this weekend we E.V.E.N.T are celebrating a year of Speak up! events, GROUNDED events,supporting artist's in HK and finally the official website launch of E.V.E.N.T. That's right. We have a website! Yaye :) Hope to see you all there at this very special launch and thank you to : Alivenotdead, Elden Cheung, Anniewho,Flying Pan,Belvedere and Hotparty TV for sponsoring us!

Speak up! artist's.
