2021 Maxwell Gray Film Fellowship Awardees Announced
Two outstanding undergraduates from the University of Michigan, Henry Lu and Mitchell Salley, were awarded the 2021 Maxwell Gray Film Fellowship earlier this week.
The fellowship grants awardees the opportunity to aid in the development, recruitment, production, and dissemination of an original video promoting student mental health. The videos aim to increase knowledge of mental illnesses and decrease the stigma surrounding them. Lu and Salley begin their summer-long fellowship on Monday, May 17.

He is currently a senior video editor and a videographer for The Michigan Daily. Lu has experience in shooting over 40 television commercials for local businesses, speaks three languages and enjoys screenwriting, filmmaking, and playing piano and guitar.
