Just Peck is a 2009 American comedy film directed by Michael A. Nickles and written by Marc Arneson.
A skinny high school sophomore dreams up a science project that will make him a living legend, and win him the heart of a pretty senior who sees his true potential. Michael Peck is the kid nobody sees while he's walking down the hall. But when popular senior Emily takes a liking to Michael, he starts to become a little less invisible. Meanwhile, Michael's well meaning yet misguided parents pressure him to enter the upcoming science fair - an event that could land him right back in the land of misfits. With his newfound popularity hanging precariously in the balance, the smart and stealthy teen dreams up a science project that will turn heads, and teach his parents a valuable lesson.
Arneson has written the screenplay when he was a student at UCLA.[1]
The film was picked up by American World Pictures and premiered at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.[2]
