Plot

Eric Ortiz (Tiago Abreu) becomes the president of West Hill High's A/V Club. He decides to turn the boring weekly announcements into the most exciting, hilarious news show in West Hill history, hoping to become more popular while doing it. But things don't work out exactly as he'd hoped. His lifelong rival, Victoria Jagger, becomes his co-host at Mr. Denovi, and the principal's request. The managing editor of the school newspaper, Teddy Chadwick IV, will do whatever he can to sabotage the announcements and keep his school paper in his classmates' hands. Lucky for Eric, his best friend Charlie has got his back. They bring in brainy Laney, a 12-year-old genius, as the producer to make the show run smoothly behind the scenes. To Eric's surprise, even Victoria helps "What's Up, Warthogs!" become a West Hill High success story. Together, the "What's Up Warthogs!" crew shares adventure, laughs, and the unlikeliest of friendships.

Main Characters

• Tiago Abreu portrays Eric Ortiz - Eric is president of the Audio/Visual club and loves being in front of the camera. He would give his left arm to get a project off the ground and in a theatre near you! Eric has no problem telling a cheesy joke on camera, but he still gets tongue-tied in front of a pretty girl. Eric's obsessed with soccer (or fútbol as he calls it) - his dad used to be a forward for Mexico's Chivas fútbol team.
• Karissa Staples portrays Victoria Jagger - Victoria is planning to run for Student Body president in a year and doesn't miss a single chance to promote her campaign, even now. She's a rabid environmentalist and uses her charms to enlist other students and teachers to help her with the cause. Ever since Eric "impeached" her one-of-a-kind Congressional Barbie in a peach smoothie, they've been sworn enemies!
• Eduard Witzke portrays Charlie McGuinness - Charlie is Eric's best friend. He's got his own way of looking at things and ideas about everything from political conspiracies to personal hygiene! Even though he means well, he's not so good at thinking before talking, so sometimes he's a little embarrassing or just plain inappropriate. Charlie once stayed up for 86 hours straight on a quest to look at EVERY page on the internet... he ALMOST made it!
• Ana Golja portrays Laney Nielsen - Even though she's only 12, she's skipped two grades to become a freshman at West Hill High. A little ahead of her time, she has a scientific curiosity about the other high school students around her and the drama they create. She's a straight A student, can't tell a lie to save her life and likes to stay up late re-reading romance novels over and over. Eric appreciates her logical thinking and she hopes she and Victoria can become best friends forever!
