Evaluate the drafted changes
LEAD:

- it could benefit from a concise introductory sentence that captures the festival's energy - refining the lead to include a succinct overview

- while the major sections of the article are not explicitly outlined, the lead could briefly mention the festival's history, programming, and impact

- could be more concise by trimming redundant phrases and unnecessary details, focusing on the most essential information

Purpose:

- purpose and lead can honestly be one

- perhaps quoting the film festival sight in this area?

Festival Program and Events:

- I feel like there could be more history on CUFF or it's own section. If there isn't history, or its all word of mouth, say that! Moreover, origin and beginings, but more modern information is great! This area should to be more in depth of history from the start of festival to present day

- It's titled "Awards and Events," but there are no events........... Either add events or cut it from title

- We talked about the silly awards they do that are oddly specific, I would love to see this included! Maybe you don't know ho it started but adding that lore would be fun

- More awards over more time would be great as well

General Notes/Options to explore:

- CUFF partnerships and programs (relationships with universities for example)

- The overall tone feels great, and it's neutrality is mostly consistent. - Phrases like "The festival offers an opportunity for independent artists who are frequently overlooked by other conventional, market-driven festivals to showcase and be recognized for their work" can feel a little unuetral, so unless you provide another persepctive, be cautious on setnances like these.

- planned published content feels useful, especially the start of an awards section.

- good sources! Maybe consider a "top filmfestivals in chicago" style article from a notable trade?

- See a Bryan Wendorf article, but I see no Bryan Wendorf in the article! Maybe there is room for him?

- Pictures?
