WHY SAGESSE?
YOU MIGHT
WONDER ...

Why the hell did we name our production company Sagesse? Sagesse comes from sage esse, equivalent to Latin sapientia — science of wisdom. Wisdom is the quality of having experience, knowledge, acceptance, and understanding.

Sagesse results from a true passion for creating impactful and meaningful content for Film, TV, Documentaries, and Commercials.
