Directors Statement: I grew up in a small village where children with learning differences were often misunderstood or overlooked. As a teacher and founder of a childrens development center, Ive worked closely with many children who, like Sabyrjan, face daily challenges that arent always visible especially conditions like dyslexia. Their struggles are real, but so are their dreams, talents, and resilience.

Sabyr was born from my deep love for children and cinema a way to give voice to those who are rarely represented on screen. Through Sabyrjans imaginative world and his dream of flying, I wanted to show how creativity and inner strength can thrive even when the world doesnt understand you. His story is not just about a learning difficulty; its about the power of imagination, perseverance, and the need for empathy in both homes and classrooms. - Marina
