In 2004, she founded No Budget Films (NBF), a film production company aimed at helping aspiring young filmmakers to find their way. In addition to organizing workshops and seminars, in 2005 NBF launched a phenomenal biannual march called ‘The Walk’, wherein film industry professionals from across the Arab world would gather in Jordan to stage a walk and underscore the importance of media and cinema to further the region’s social and political causes.
Through this and a myriad of other projects, Saba has been able to marry her passion for social causes with her love for cinema.

Saba is Jordan’s very first cinema director, who has worked tirelessly to encourage other aspiring filmmakers to follow suit. As a woman, she has boldly defied convention and gender-related norms.
