When we wrote about him several years ago, David Russo was a somewhat ornery but certainly talented fellow, a little more indie than the average indie filmmaker. That was back when he was making stop-motion shorts. But he finally got his first feature made, and The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle has apparently been sold to New York’s Visit Films, as reported on the Sundance blog. IndieWire has a nice little interview with the director here, in which we learn that Little Dizzle draws from Russo’s past experiences as a janitor. The somewhat trouble-plagued actress Natasha Lyonne is the biggest name in the cast. What’s the movie about? Per Visit Films’ press release:”The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle focuses on Dory who loses his job at a data-management company and can only find work as a janitor. It looks like his life is going down the drain. To make matters worse, he and his toilet-cleaning colleagues become unwitting guinea pigs in a misguided corporate experiment. But as a strange new life takes shape inside him, Dory learns that sometimes you don’t find meaning, meaning finds you.”So we’ll look forward to seeing that in a local theater soon.
