Acclaimed music producer Andrew Lane, whose work includes "Hanna Montana" "High School Musical" and more, will produce the hip hop motion picture WHAT ELSE?. "Movie fans will be in for a treat when we introduce them the talented young cast," Lane said. "The movie features music, great action and some extremely compelling drama that will showcase the talents of these young performers. It's a strong musical tour de force for the audience!"

"What Else?" tells the story of a talented young girl who loves music, named Elisabeth, but also has a penchant for getting into trouble but always finding a way out of her predicaments until she meets her biggest challenge yet. Production is set to begin in December.

The young cast includes Daniel Curtis Lee, known for his role in the long-running Disney XD series "Zeke and Luther," as well as Talin Silva ("Jessica Darling's It List") and newcomer Israel Johnson. Playing Elisabeth's father will be veteran character actor Arvie Lowe Jr. ("Lizzy McGuire").

"We're thrilled to have such an amazing cast led by the talented Daniel Curtis Lee whom fans have come to love from his 'Zeke and Luther' days!" Lane said. "With a compelling storyline filled with great humor, music and drama, 'What Else?' will definitely strike a positive note with viewers young and old!"

Produced the Lane's Drew Right Music imprint, the film is written and directed by Doreen Spicer ("The Proud Family"). It is executive produced by music industry veteran Russ Regan, former president for UNI Records and 20th Century Records who also worked with Motown and Polygram Records, and co-produced by Daniel Lir and Bayou Bennett.
