The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle
Directed by David Russo
Comedy (103 min.)
Something is fishy in Seattle in this 21st century comedy about a group of Gen Y janitors being used as guinea pigs. 

Little Dizzle is an edgy character-driven fable with unique Northwest flavor icons (Space Needle, The Alaskan Way Viaduct, the ferries, the skyline and the waterfront) haunting the background of David Russo’s strange world.

This film was shot in Seattle with many local actors. It's the first Seattle film to be “incentivized” by Washington Film Works, and is a recipient of Northwest Film Forum’s Start-to-Finish grant program.   

Little Dizzle has received standing ovations at Sundance and SXSW.
