Getting screwed by the power structure is a bipartisan issue in a one party system.

Prior to 9-11; Gianni was a a founding member of the Washington, DC ComedySportz team (competitive improv) working with this nationally renowned comedy group 3 years before branching out. First as a key ensemble performer and writer for a local sketch comedy pilot TV Show called The Inner Loop. Then by producing, writing and performing in the Washington D.C. based sketch comedy group THE MISSING LYNX. Weekly shows at Old Town Alexandria's "Laughing Lizard Lounge" were the norm for years to come. The Lynx also traveled the east coast on the college circuit and enjoyed performances at The Kennedy Center, The National Theatre and Lisner Auditorium as well as being part of DC's Comic Relief effort.

Gianni then turned to improv once again. His show "Remote Control Theatre" followed, also receiving much recognition on the east coast college circuit by allowing audience members to "fast forward", "rewind", "pause", "mute" and "play" the completely improvised action on stage.

Gianni has acted in several indie shorts and features, and the television shows "Unsolved Mysteries" and "Vanishing Son".

On the internet Gianni has been seen in the long since dead "The Locals Only Show" (Hosting, Directing & Editing) and occasionally adding narrative to the massive amount of political protest movement videos that FluxRostrum has published on-line since 9-11-01.

During the winter of 2003 FluxRostrum embarked on a nationwide self financed roadtrip to cover the Dennis Kucinich for President campaign for his now defunct website, KucinichWatch.com. During this period Flux worked closely with the Kucinich Media Team, volunteering editing services toward many of the Campaign's official videos. Shortly before the California Primaries he returned home, bought a van, gave up "normal" life in LA and hit the road again.. to document end of the facade of democracy. The video below deals with the logistics as well as the motivation behind this commitment.

March 2006 Update
I'm still on the road. Though many of the initial tools of the trade have been upgraded since the above video was produced and I rarely stay at truck stops these days; I'm still usually a little road weary. Keeping up with the work load is often completely impossible; but somehow I get by.

I'm currently developing a television series that embraces the talents I have developed in the various incarnations of my being.

My "home" is a smiley face coffee mug in search of a kitchen; a computer network, in a van, in search of electricity and wi-fi.

I live in a van with my cat and we travel constantly shooting video and spending days editing and uploading from a variety of access points. It's exciting sometimes but usually primitive and difficult. I do this for nothing. No Money. Nada. Zip. .. cause I think you need to see these things. Doing this isn't easy. Doing it under the financial limitations of whatever I can make in my nonexistent free time is becoming more of a sacrifice than I'd like to make.

I have a gaggle of plans regarding reaching more people with these videos; including touring guerilla theatres and television broadcast options do exist . These plans are solid but will require more technology and a more efficient work space to make it real.

Please help if you can. All Power to the People!
