It is a fly on the whole depiction of today\u2019s society, with a wink to the power of social media on the restaurant and hospitality industry and how working in a restaurant seems to be something one doesn\u2019t do by choice. How did you build the characters and their story arcs?<\/h6>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\"><p>The series is semi-autobiographical, and I pulled all of the characters from the coworkers I interact with every day at my job.

She moved to the United States at the age of 11 and has been passionate about storytelling for as long as she can remember.<\/p>\n<p>She began training in musical theatre at the age of five, but her love for writing and directing emerged just as early. By the age of eight, she was writing scripts, directing her classmates during playtime, and producing original performances that her teachers proudly showcased at the end of each school year.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Folasade writes, directs, and stars in her first original series, Keepers of the Door. Inspired by groundbreaking creators such as Issa Rae, Michaela Coel, and Quinta Brunson, she is dedicated to telling authentic, character-driven stories that reflect resilience, ambition, and hope.<\/p>\n<p>Keepers of the Door is an autobiographical series inspired by Folasade\u2019s experiences working as a British Ma\u00eetre d\u2019 in a fine-dining restaurant frequented by Hollywood celebrities and influential figures. Through humor, heart, and honest storytelling, the series explores the pursuit of purpose while navigating everyday challenges. Its central message is universal: no matter where you come from or how distant your dreams may seem, never stop believing in them. Sometimes the very environment you\u2019re in today can become the inspiration that shapes the future you\u2019ve always imagined.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column_inner fusion-builder-nested-column-4 fusion_builder_column_inner_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column fusion-flex-align-self-center\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.84%;--awb-width-medium:50%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.84%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:3.84%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"text-align:center;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-10 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" alt=\"Portrait of Folasade, director, writer and star of Keepers of the Door, crouching and smiling in front of a brick wall.\" title=\"folasade\" src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/folasade.jpeg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/folasade.jpeg\" class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-52837\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27600%27%20height%3D%27900%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20600%20900%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27600%27%20height%3D%27900%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/folasade-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/folasade-400x600.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/folasade.jpeg 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-19\"><h6>Official Links<\/h6>\n<p>Instagram \u2014 Folasade: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iamfolasadee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">instagram.com\/iamfolasadee<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Instagram \u2014 Sade Morris Productions: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sademorrisproductions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">instagram.com\/sademorrisproductions<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-20\"><p>Interview : Isabelle Rouault-R\u00f6hlich<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":143,"featured_media":52811,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[107],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interviews-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Interview with Folasade, Director &#038;
