Just Peck
In suburbia no one can hear you scream.
Directed by Michael A. Nickles
Produced by Pheonix Entertainment, The Jerry Leider Company
A comedic high school underdog story about a bullied, awkward teenager navigating social rejection and overbearing parental control with humor and resilience.
At 104 pounds dripping wet, baby-faced sophomore Michael Peck (age 15) is not exactly the coolest guy at American High. Peck’s teachers make him feel like an idiot, his classmates make him feel like a geek and his home life is just as bad, with parents who schedule family time in their planners and require him to sign contracts with them about his extra-curricular activities.
