The Making of Alive

Funded by MuchFACT

You may know the music from Shawn's upcoming album ALIVE drives the story of the ALIVE SPECIAL but did you know Shawn also composed the entire score and all music heard in the movie?

In the film Shawn holds his audition in a historical Toronto landmark, can you name what it is?

Izaac Smith is one of only two cast members that has a dance background. You may remember him from SYTYCDC. Ironically he didn't have to dance at all!

If you were at MUCH's BIG JINGLE concert YOU could be in the ALIVE SPECIAL!!! See if you can spot yourself!

Director RT! makes a secret appearance in the movie but you'll have to pay attention because he MOVES fast...

Along the way of this life changing journey, Liv learns what it takes to make dreams come true, and what it really means to be ALIVE. Juno award winning, Multi platinum selling recording artist Shawn Desman & two time MMVA Director of the Year, RT!, present a classic tale of the power of persistence in pursuit of ones dream, in a groundbreaking original television special that fuses film, music, and dance, into one thrilling, emotional roller coaster ride.
