We’re big champions of local culture, but alas, there are only so many of us. That’s why we love The Talented, a cool project from our friends at Sony, who asked local cultural influencers around the country to capture their talent-filled days via the Sony Action Cam.
Influencers were chosen in ten different area codes, and given free reign to capture the essence of their talent with the Action Cam. Every clip is now streaming at their local Sony store, where you can check them out through April 28.
See some of our favorite contributors from The Talented below, and find a Sony store in your area where you can see more.

Sasha Gaulin, 516
Parents tell their kids not to play with fire, but as a professional fire artist, Sasha does so on a daily basis. The performer specializes in mind-bending aerialist acts and fire art, earning the nickname, The Fire Gypsy. See a sneak peek of her dazzling performances.
