We're excited to announce that our award-winning director Lana Wilson will premiere her latest two-part documentary series, PRETTY BABY: BROOKE SHIELDS, at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival. She previously debuted her Taylor Swift documentary, MISS AMERICANA, at Sundance in 2020, which became The New York Times and IndieWire critic’s pick as well as one of the National Board of Review's Top Five Documentaries. Her other films include THE DEPARTURE (2017 Tribeca Film Festival, Independent Spirit Award nominee for Best Documentary) and AFTER TILLER, which premiered at Sundance in 2013 and won an Emmy for Best Documentary.

Lana holds a mirror to society's tendency to objectify women and girls in PRETTY BABY, examining Brooke Shields' career and life path from a sexualized teen model to a woman who owns her truth.
