BURBANK, CA, April 11, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Miley's mother, Tish Cyrus will executive produce, Adam Shankman and his sister Jennifer Gibgot will handle production for Offspring Entertainment.

The film centered on a rebellious young woman who is sent to spend the summer with her estranged father.
The movie is expected to bring approximately 250 jobs to the state of Georgia. Georgia's new, more competitive incentives offer a 20 percent tax credit for qualified productions, which are then eligible for an additional 10 percent tax credit if they include an animated Georgia promotional logo within the finished product. The incentive covers more than just the film and television industries. The program also offers credits for commercials and music videos, as well as the first incentive in the nation to cover other areas of development including animation, interactive entertainment and video game development.
Nine feature films, two television series and one television pilot were produced in Georgia in the first quarter of 2009. A Sony Pictures produced television series began production in Georgia in April and three feature films are currently in production. Seven more feature films are slated for the state in the coming months.
Offspring Entertainment and Walt Disney Pictures are scheduled to begin working on another project called "Fear Phil" after this film wraps up production.
