The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle is a film that combines self-referential documentary and animation with humorous, poetic narrative. Intended as a response to the filmmaker’s failed narrative feature project about a group of male janitors who become pregnant and then miscarry, The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle uses male miscarriage as a surreal, playful metaphor for unrealized ambitions, and as a commentary on gender roles. Russo made this film first as a stand-alone work, later integrating it into a revitalized version of his feature. The New York Times writes, “Looking as if it were devised on acid and executed on mushrooms, this imaginative debut feature from the Seattle artist and filmmaker David Russo finds meaning in cleaning and life in dead ends.”
