Short Film of the Day
As we practiced social distancing in 2020, at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, it was increasingly important to bring the world together through our most popular and accessible art form: cinema. With this in mind, I created this “Short Film of the Day” series. Join me in celebrating these wonderful short movies, all of which are worthy of 5 stars (my highest ranking). And for ratings of more than 2,500 shorts, see my list of short films.
