Hi, I'm Sara Khateeb

I'm a film director from Jordan. I'm a storyteller at heart, no matter the medium I work in. I write, storyboard, and direct, with a focus on character and story from script to final cut.

I hold an MA in Film Direction from ESCAC Barcelona, where I won a grant to fund one of my short films. As a director, I aim to tell personal stories, the kind that can be easy to overlook, and give them the space they deserve.

My background in art and animation shapes how I see and build a scene, from composition to character to visual tone. I've also worked in assistant directing, production, editing, and art direction, which gives me a hands-on understanding of what it takes to bring a film to life on set.
