International documentary sales firm Cinephil has acquired “The Wolves Always Come at Night” from writer-director Gabrielle Brady, which will world premiere at Toronto Film Festival in Platform Competition. Variety is debuting the first-look clip.

Cinephil has worldwide rights excluding the U.K. (BBC Storyville), Australia and New Zealand (Madman Entertainment), Germany and France (Swr/Arte), and Mongolia (Guru Media).
