Chicago Talent is a new Chicago online reality show that showcases the lives and endeavors of several Illinois artists and entrepreneurs. It is taking a new angle to the idea of creatives being successful in business. As so many people envision LA or NYC with this subject, we want to make sure that Chicago is represented as well. It will show them at work, at play and even some emotional moments that occur behind the scenes of such hardworking, ambitious talents. What you normally wouldn’t see when browsing their social media, websites or even interviews, you will see on this show.

​

The series’ first season gained over 40,000 views and received great reviews from several viewers and media outlets! The first season being their test run, the cast and its producers were taking a leap of faith and were blessed with a great outcome. It is produced, edited and filmed by some of the same team who released The Fresh Faces Project documentary, which gained over 30,000 views within its first month of release.

The Creator and Executive Producer of the show, Calynn M Lawrence, is a 23-year-old seven time award winning publicist and magazine editor with a specialty in the fashion and entertainment industry. She is using this new platform, Chicago Talent, as an extension of her nonprofit campaign The Fresh Faces Project to continue in her overall career mission of bringing the exposure and promotion that underrated talents deserve it. Having invested much of her own personal money into the show, she earnestly hopes that viewers will fall in love with the concept and support the talents she believes in so much.
