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 December 2025.
This month’s Best Picks explore desire, identity, and unlikely bonds forged under pressure. In Flirtologist, a teenage girl’s attempt to flirt her way through a tense family camping trip becomes a fraught reckoning with sexuality and power. Close Encounter blends sci-fi wonder with heartfelt family drama as a skeptical daughter joins her UFO-obsessed father on a road trip that changes their relationship forever. Visa delivers a sharp and unsettling portrait of desperation, following an immigrant worker pushed to extreme measures in the face of deportation. And in Easier Than You Think, dark comedy by Amy Acker meets emotional excavation as two women are forced into an uneasy alliance while cleaning up a murder — uncovering wounds far messier than the crime itself.
A friendly reminder to check out all our Featured Shorts this month (below) as well as our exciting YouTube Channel.
