This episode features the third annual University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications Orange and Blue Film Festival. The three-day event, the largest state-wide collegiate and high school film festival hosted by a Florida university, will be April 10-12 at various locations on the UF campus and in Gainesville. Since its inception, the festival has welcomed filmmakers, guests and industry talent to the Gainesville-based event.
In just two years, the Orange and Blue Film Festival has grown into Florida’s largest student-run festival by treating its operations as a live research and development lab. Luis Lageyre, UF graduate student and founder and executive director, shares information on building a university-backed, Gen Z–driven model that is testing new answers to the industry’s core challenges: sustainability, audience relevance and talent development.
