Freedom Festival to Freedom Festival
This time last year Pixel Dreams moved into our first studio. Also around this time, we were inspired to start M1 Challenge – the first event under our Pixel Dreams umbrella. The idea came to us while brainstorming ideas for our community, sitting at Vapor Central (VC) after an eventful Freedom march through Queens Park and the rest of Toronto’s lovely Yongesterdam. A year later, we are back at the same spot discussing politics and the future with Marc and Jodie Emery, Chris Goodwin, Matt Mernagh and a few other good friends who frequent the friendly neighbourhood pot lounge.
It has been truly an amazing year since our last Freedom Festival. Our company has moved several times, organized a couple of community events, found awesome clients, and have had the privilege to work on some very interesting and challenging projects. Speaking of which, we look forward to the launch of eatsleepride.com this summer.
