Hi, my name is Kadir Mayel, and I’m a filmmaker studying at the New York Film Academy. My journey into filmmaking has been fueled by a passion for telling powerful, human stories—ones that challenge, inspire, and bring light to real-world struggles.

I’m raising funds for my upcoming film, The Road, a gripping and emotional story following the journey of eight Syrian refugees as they fight for survival while crossing the border. This film sheds light on the harrowing reality of displacement, sacrifice, and the resilience of the human spirit. It’s a deeply personal project, one that I believe needs to be told now more than ever.

With your support, we can bring The Road to life, covering essential costs like casting, locations, cinematography, and post-production. Every contribution—big or small—helps us tell this story with the authenticity and impact it deserves.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Your support means the world.
