Why is the Instagram generation choosing film over filters? 'Grain' is a short doc series capturing six intimate portraits of millennials and GenZ who are abandoning pixels for the imperfect beauty of analog, a visual rebellion through passion, craft, and grain.

Michelangelo Torres is a self-shooting filmmaker, editor, and colorist based in Puglia, Italy, specializing in short documentaries and brand films that blend visual artistry with compelling storytelling.
He has crafted narratives across formats, from intimate character portraits to branded content for clients including Lenovo, Pond5, and Impact Hub. His documentary work has been featured on Vogue Italy and Condé Nast Live, with One Day with a Tattoo Artist winning Best Documentary at InfluxPalooza Film Festival and streaming on ArtBrowser.tv.
His pitch for Grain (originally Analog Stories) was awarded Best Pitch at the 2022 Indie Clips Film Festival in London. His director's cut of A Day with a Pole Dancer earned Best Documentary at Black & White Film Festival 2024 and won in the Super Short category at Alternative Film Festival Toronto, with additional recognition as Silver Winner at Tokyo Film Awards 2022.
As editor and colorist, Michelangelo contributed to The Spirit of Camden, the pilot episode of music documentary series How Does It Sound? (now streaming on ArtBrowser.tv), and edited the UK docu-series It Starts With a Sketch for Fairholme Films London. He has also crafted promotional campaigns for theatrical releases, including Alessandro Piva's crime/noir film Henry.
Michelangelo handles the entire filmmaking process, from camera operation (with a signature use of vintage lenses like Contax Zeiss) through post-production using DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro. His technical expertise combines cinematic color grading, film emulation (Dehancer, Filmconvert), and remote cloud-based collaboration.
Driven by the belief that "every frame has a story," Michelangelo creates work that moves audienceswhether documenting subcultures, exploring artistic communities, or building brand narratives with authenticity and emotional resonance.
