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.

June 2007 Update
I've been stuck in New York City for about year but that's about to change. The next pResidential sElection is fast approaching and preparations are being made to cover these events for you. Announcements will be made by the end of summer but these preparations aren't cheap. Based on my track record, if you can help, it would help. The 2nd Fluxview News Van dropped a transmission. It has been retired due to cost of repair and the lack of suitablility for upcoming projects. It's replacement is now being "created" and WILL blow your mind.
