DANI’s TWINS

Documentary Short Film - 2022 

Directed by Brad Allgood and Steve Dorst

Cinematography: Brad Allgood + Steve Dorst + Dani & Rudy Izzie

Produced by Angie Gentile + Andy Arias + Dani Izzie

DANI’S TWINS, a short documentary, captures the pregnancy and early parenting journey of Daniela Izzie, one of the few quadriplegics ever to give birth to twins. While a source of great joy, Dani’s twin pregnancy is highly unusual and susceptible to an array of risks, ranging from blood pressure spikes that could lead to a stroke to the almost-certain likelihood of preterm labor. When Covid-19 strikes, it raises the stakes for an already complicated pregnancy. DANI’S TWINS chronicles how she and husband Rudy strive to overcome the physical risks and the biases that parents with disabilities face.
