About Once Upon a Time in the... Valley
In the glittering yet shadowy backdrop of 1990s Los Angeles, naive newcomer Steve Jacobs journeys to fulfill his dreams of stardom in the adult film industry. As he navigates friendships, rivalries, lust, betrayal, and secrets, Steve discovers that beneath the glamour lies a dark world of hidden dangers, volatile egos, and elusive loyalties. Each step forward propels him further into a tangled web, where not everyone is who they claim to be. Friendships are fragile, trust is scarce, and ambition comes at a high cost. Can Steve find genuine connections amid the lies, or will his dream turn into an unending nightmare?
Directed by Seth Gamble, Once Upon a Time in the... Valley leans on a strong ensemble — Jennifer White, Parker Ambrose, Ken Feels — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2025.
