How To Shoot a Ghost - Vinyl Soundtrack
How To Shoot A Ghost (Original Soundtrack) features the evocative score by Ella van der Woude for Charlie Kaufman’s 2025 short film, starring Jessie Buckley. Premiering at the Venice Film Festival, the film follows two newly deceased young people wandering through Athens, navigating memory, longing, and the fragile beauty of existence after life.
Kaufman, the Oscar-winning writer of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and director of Synecdoche, New York, crafts a poetic collage of street photography, archival footage, and intimate performances. The score plays a central role in shaping the emotional arc of the film, moving fluidly between moods while maintaining a powerful throughline.
Ella van der Woude’s composition blends piano and cello foundations with expressive saxophone and experimental textures. Featuring performances by Alistair Sung (cello), Hristo Goleminov (saxophone), and Brent Arnold (cello), the soundtrack balances clarity and intimacy with propulsive, illustrative passages that elevate the film’s dreamlike atmosphere.
