Directors Speak on WCOPA’s Global Influence

National Director, Jamaica

“WCOPA has made an impact on aspiring performers in my country, Jamaica. The scholarships awarded have impacted Jamaicans in art education such as LeeSan Gayle, who got a scholarship to New York Film Academy. She is studying for her master’s in Film. No other event affects performers around the world this way. WCOPA changes lives.”
