Born on the streets of CP, Theo Fanis, a.k.a. "The Truth," is the brains behind Haussle, Inc.
Fanis, along with Haussle's cofounder, Goshen, originally formed Haussle, Inc. as a means to both "hassle" and "hustle" the big-wigs of corporate Kastoria; they succeeded. Shortly afterwards, however, Fanis wanted his creation to be much more. He dreamed of a legit Haussle, Inc. In the late 1990's, his dream came true.
Mob Ties$, written, directed, and produced by Theo Fanis, exploded onto the scene in the summer of 1997. It provided a wonderful glimpse into a dark world that mainstream society had no idea existed. Wasting no time, Fanis pushed the envelope even further with his next piece, Drag. This was the racing film unlike any other racing film. In nothing less than the most daring move ever made in filmmaking, Fanis decided to cast the unknown Nikko Tom John as his lead. His gamble paid off; Nikko was a natural. Theo Fanis was now a hit maker. He immediately began writing his third work, Smoke. In his first comedic attempt, Fanis again hit pay dirt. He was quickly becoming known as Hollywood's top dog.
Fanis showed his incredible range as a filmmaker in his 1998 collection of films, "The Haussle, Inc. Entertainment MegaJam LineUp." Fans ate up everything Fanis threw at them. He had set into motion the first movements in what would become a revolution in entertainment.
Theos created the new Haussle, Inc. Entertainment Group, HIEG, in 1999 and started it off with a bang with Pothosforo, Chronicles of Success, vol. III. It contained special effects that not only set the world into a frenzy, but also showed Fanis that he could express a myriad of emotions through more than just his actors.
Luckily, although the HIEG badge rarely ever can be found on his modern work, the stunning poignancy and brilliance of Theo Fanis' latest films suggest that he is still at the top of his game. |
