“Lee’s Choice” ( 2016) 

What would it be like if the fate of the world rested in the hands of a child — or in the hands of elemental gods behaving like children? After millennia of battling one another using our world as a battleground, the four Elemental gods -Earth, Fire, Water, and Air- take human form and come down to earth for one final showdown. After they reach a stalemate yet again, they come to a decision – choose a mortal child to be the impartial judge. They find Lee and put the fate of our world in her hands; choose the strongest force and award them dominion over our world or face their wrath. With the likelihood of bringing about the apocalypse no matter who she chooses,  Lee has to use her wits to save humanity’s future.
(comedy, sci-fi, fantasy) Directed by: Joshua Costea
