The Best Picks of The Month highlight our Daily Short Picks that resonated the most with us and our audience. These are the best picks for the month of September 2024.
Our four picks this month explore themes of creativity, self-discovery, and personal transformation in unique and experimental ways. Create! by Roman Duneshenko is a visually striking piece about overcoming creative blocks through an unexpected source of inspiration — basketball. In Opulent Round Edible Object, Evan Mann (The Golden Lion) delivers a whimsical animated short where a boy discovers a glitch that lets him trade cotton balls for cookies. American Body by Juan Zuloaga Eslait is a dark comedy about a washed-up actor willing to sacrifice his arm for a movie role to fund a loved one’s healthcare. Lastly, Bad Asian by Kim Marcelino tackles internalized racism and identity struggles as an Asian American woman confronts her self-image during a steamy one-night stand.
