Toronto

We love creative Canadians flying the flag, and these three Toronto teens are doing just that. Started by an Indiegogo campaign for AEON Sunnies, Weiming Yuan, Wei Dong Yuan, and Patrick Lum created unisex accessories brand AEON Attire last summer, and have since expanded to include hats, pant tapers, beanies, tank tops, belts and decorative studs and spikes.

We’re putting it out there; we think this talented Canadian filmmaker is going places. Dunn is currently riding high from his success at the Tribeca Film Festival, with his award winning (Student Visionary Award 2013) short film Life Doesn’t Frighten Me, starring Canadian legend Gordon Pinsent, as well as boasting Rick Mercer as producer and an entire soundtrack by Sufjan Stevens. Dunn, a Newfoundland native, Toronto-based creative is the youngest person ever selected for TIFF, and already a TED speaker, we’re sure this 24-year-old is destined to be a cinematic superstar.

Each year, TIFF exhibits some of the best up-and-coming, first feature filmmakers in the industry with their Discovery Programme, sponsored by Grolsch. To show their support of emerging filmmaking talent, Grolsch launched the annual Grolsch Film Works Discovery Award at last year’s TIFF.

If you happen to be in Toronto for NXNE this year, we recommend that you come and check out the ION X NXNE Showcase this year. We have a great line-up of super talented musicians from both the West Coast and the East Coast, and we would love for you to join us. The line-up and times are below.
