"I think there's maybe 60, or more than that," she says.

But one film in particular is getting a lot of attention. Comments have popped up online.

"The best movie I've seen so far. It belongs on TV. This is a great idea for a movie," she reads.

Her animated short titled The Living Room Goes On has been viewed online more than 1,300 times.

"There's a boy named Edgar. He wants to prove his living room goes on in a circle. So he keeps on running and running, but he gets abducted by an alien," she says.

It's so popular the TN network, associated with the website that helps kids make these animated shorts, has decided to run it on TV this coming Saturday morning.

Her short was selected for TV out of thousands of videos.

"I like doing this - but I want to be a scientist when I grow up, so I can find new animals and creatures," she says.

But for now, making these animated shorts keeps her entertained.
