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.
