Hi Tom
This story is of interest to your audience but it would benefit from more of a student/ college focus. UCF and its students played an important part in the festival.
Structurally, your paragraphs are much too long and in places this reads like a list of films -- there is no information here that would not be available elsewhere.
Remember that these assignments require at least two original quotes.
