Saga

Docuseries & Podcast

Digital, 2022

We teamed up with Thesis Agency in Portland, Oregon to create a six part docuseries and podcast called Saga. Filmed over the course of 18 days, Saga followed around some of Portland’s finest creatives to get a look into who they are and what they do.

Everyone has an origin story.

If you want to understand how somebody got so good at what they do, you need to understand how they came up. You need to know how it all began. Explore six unique stories revealing the journeys taken by those working for Thesis. Each chapter reveals the potential inside all of us and the powers waiting to be realized.

SAGA began with Black Excellence at Thesis (BET). We strive to honor the stories of our people, to treat each of them like the heroes they are, and to affirm all Black experiences. SAGA begins with Black excellence — and our future is limitless.
