London-based outfit Dogwoof has boarded international sales for the Sundance title “Look Into My Eyes,” from director Lana Wilson. Dogwoof will attend Cph:Dox, where the film will receive its European premiere next week.
The filmmaker’s previous films include Emmy Award winner “After Tiller,” “The Departure” — also handled by Dogwoof — and the Taylor Swift documentary “Miss Americana,” and she also directed the two-parter “Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields,” which earned two Emmy nominations.

Wilson sets her gaze on the private lives of seven unconventional healers and creative types searching for solace and struggling to make dreams come true in a city of eight million people.
