An Invitation to Tea

FANTASY DRAMA 

Directed by Desiree Abeyta

13 min. Scripted Short - USA

Watching this film made me want to stay in its world. There is so much more to this story that I am wanting to see. This is not, however, incomplete or bait for a longer film.  It is a fascinating story that made me emotional while igniting my imagination, reminding me of what I loved about Amazing Stories. It captured the feelings of hope and wonder, loss and grief, and 1,000 yet-to-be-taken adventures.  Do yourself a favor and watch this film.

Lost Treasure of the Valley Directed by Robert Husted

Lost Treasure of the Valley

FANTASY COMEDY SHORT FILM
Directed by Robert Husted
25 min. Scripted Short – USA

Lost Treasure of the Valley is an absurd, hilarious, and completely entertaining fantasy comedy short film that feels like a love letter to campy B-movies of the 1980s. With its ridiculous premise and surprisingly clever dialogue, the film captures the offbeat charm that makes cult-style comedies so addictive.

From the first scene, the short embraces its absurdity and runs with it. A photographer and an adventurer discover that the countless abandoned shopping carts scattered across LA’s San Fernando Valley aren’t just urban eyesores—they’re clues leading to a hidden treasure. What they uncover is a cave off Sepulveda Blvd., guarded by none other than a dragon.

As someone who loves B-level sci-fi and comedy, I couldn’t stop laughing at both the sheer ridiculousness of the story and the legitimately sharp dialogue. The humor works on multiple levels, and the world-building is bizarrely satisfying. And yes—after watching, I’ll never look at abandoned shopping carts the same way again.

My Take: Worth The Watch
With its unique concept, campy charm, and laugh-out-loud moments, Lost Treasure of the Valley is a standout indie fantasy comedy short film. If you dig quirky storytelling and absurd B-movie fun, this one is not to be missed.
