Director Chris Stokes has been ordered to give $10,000 for not paying one of the flick's investors of his movie "Battlefield America", which has already turned out to be a damp squib at the box office.

Stokes was sued in small claims court by a single mother, who claimed she invested $10,000 in his movie believing she'd be repaid in 30 days, but the money was never returned to her, reports tmz.com.

Stokes blew off her lawsuit - and earlier this week, a judge entered a default judgment in the woman's favour, awarding her the $10,000 plus court costs.

It's another financial blow to the filmmakers, who invested a reported $15 million into the picture, which later raked in only $172,000 at the box office.

"I simply want Christopher Stokes and team to make things right and pay what they owe me," the women told tmz.com.

When contacted, Stokes did not respond.
