BEHIND THE LENS

WHEELCHAIR USERS TELL THEIR STORIES

IN ACCLAIMED DOCUMENTARIES


As Dani Izzie’s pregnancy progressed, cinematographers began filming her and her husband, Rudy, in their Virginia home.

Then came Covid. 

No one wanted to travel, and no one wanted to expose Izzie to increased health risks during her pregnancy. 

“The pros did a shoot before my baby shower, then everything shut down. 

It was in the middle of the pandemic. We couldn’t even do fundraising,” she says.

Because there’s no pause button on pregnancy, Izzie and her husband became the camera crew, using smartphones and a digital camera. 

Izzie evolved from being the subject of the film to its producer.
