Minhal Baig will be directing an “elevated horror drama” for Amazon Studios.

The Hala filmmaker will be adapting Samantha Schweblin’s short story collection Mouthful of Birds. Deadline describes the series as “an elevated horror drama that plunges into the darkness of the feminine psyche and blurs the line between the surreal and banal. Mouthful of Birds circles madness, trauma, and violence in a darkly absurd, profoundly eerie, and ultimately human way, as our protagonist attempts to come to terms with a traumatic event from her childhood that she cannot remember.”
