Badass Van Peebles Hires Agency in Time for Tribeca Film Fest

(Melvin Van Peebles, circa 1971)

Seventy-six-year-old writer, producer, director, actor and iconic badass Melvin Van Peebles hired an agency of record in time for his next film’s debut at the Tribeca Film Fest later this month.

He didn’t go with Klores, or a small artsy boutique, he went with My PRGenie Solutions which according to the pitch, “means we are more than a press release engine after all”.

Van Peebles will be at Tribeca to debut his latest, “Confessionsofa Ex-Doofus-ItchyFooted Mutha”.
