Talent Town

A story about passion, cultural identity and the pursuit of big dreams from the small island of Guam USA.

Talent Town is a thought-provoking journey through Guam’s landscape of world-class, homegrown talent.

In a span of less than seven years, top organizations and publications including Time Magazine, Interscope Records, The Olympics, Filmmaker Magazine, Variety Magazine, the UFC, Bellator MMA and Major League Baseball have all featured the homegrown talents from one of the most unsuspecting of places…a small Pacific island only thirty seven miles long and five miles wide; the island of Guam, USA.
