SOMETIMES, I THINK ABOUT DYING | Omeleto

★ Oscar shortlist; Sundance selection

Fran spends her days making spreadsheets and privately rehearsing thoughts of her own death, until a hesitant office flirtation with a coworker named Robert cracks open the isolation she has built around herself. Shot in hushed, dusty color with an intimate voiceover, the short treats depression as something to live inside rather than something to solve.

Why it's free: Free on Omeleto's own channel; the distributor licensed it from director Stefanie Abel Horowitz.
