I feel like when you do things with such a small budget, it actually makes you be more creative... and allows you to concentrate more on the story and the characters. I think that there is something about dirty, gritty and raw filmmaking that makes it feel a little more natural and makes it easier to connect with the action.

American Actor

Imagine how something feels between your fingers to apply 'gritty' in textural descriptions.

Tactile Impression

'Gritty' suggests a surface is not smooth and has many small, rough particles.

Not Smooth

'Gritty' often implies a positive quality of someone enduring hardship bravely.

Admirable Quality

Use 'gritty' to describe someone persevering despite difficulties or setbacks.

Against Odds

'Gritty' doesn't only describe heroes; ordinary people in daily life can also be gritty.

Not Only Heroes

'Gritty' in films or books suggests a realistic, unfiltered view of tough situations.

Realistic Media

A 'gritty' scene can be emotionally intense and sometimes disturbing to watch or read.

Emotionally Tough

When 'gritty' describes media, expect a depiction far from glamorous or idealized life.

Not Glamorous
