Biography
EARLY LIFE
Her relationship with storytelling began early. Watching films like The Sound of Music and Escape from Sobibor, she became fascinated by how ordinary lives could carry extraordinary weight. 'I’ve always loved stories,' she says. 'I started writing early, and that curiosity slowly turned into a desire to understand how films are actually made.' Although she initially entered the industry as an actor, writing became her creative anchor. By 2020, she had fully embraced screenwriting, building a body of work that steadily found its audience. 'Writing has always been home,' she says simply.
CAREER
A major turning point in Folowosele’s career came through her work with Africa Magic, where she served as lead writer on Kadara and Irora Iya. The experience sharpened both her storytelling instincts and her leadership skills. Her selection as one of two Nigerians in the Red Sea Series Lab coincided with another milestone: her directorial debut. Service Charge, produced under the Filmmakers Mart and Rollpay Africa initiative, asked filmmakers to interpret Nigeria through their own lens. The short went on to win Best Film at Nigeria Through My Lens. Beyond the Series Lab, her project Till Death Do Us Part was selected for the Red Sea Souk Project Market, an experience she describes as both surreal and affirming.
