Catherine Called Birdy – undated, unspecified draft script by Lena Dunham (Based on the book by Karen Cushman) – hosted by: Amazon Studio Guilds – in pdf format

The year? 1290. In the medieval English village of Stonebridge, Lady Catherine (known as Birdy) is the youngest child of Lord Rollo and the Lady Aislinn. Her playground is Stonebridge Manor, a house that, like the family, has seen better days. Financially destitute and utterly greedy, Rollo sees his daughter as his path out of financial ruin by marrying her off to a wealthy man for money and land. But, Birdy, like all the great teen heroines, is spirited, clever and adventurous, and ready to put off any suitor that comes in increasingly ingenious ways. Her imagination, defiance, and deep belief in her own right to independence put her on a collision course with her parents. When the most vile suitor of all arrives, they are presented with the ultimate test of love for their daughter.
