DESCRIPTION

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.

Common Questions

What does 'pre-order' mean?

A pre-order product is a product which still needs to be produced. So, after your purchase, you won’t receive this product immediately. We strive to send these on the Release Date which you can find on the product page.

Keep in consideration that manufacturing processes can always turn out to be delayed so this Release Date, acts as a guideline.

I ordered a pre-order and an in-stock item. When will they ship?

If you place an order containing both pre-order and in-stock items, your entire order will be shipped on the latest pre-order date of any pre-ordered items. If you prefer not to wait, please place separate orders.

Pre-order items have an (expected) release date noted on the product page. We typically ship these items several days before their release date to ensure that you receive the record on—or as close as possible to—the release date.

The color of my vinyl differs from the image shown

Vinyl is a delicate material, and each pressing is unique. This means that some products may appear slightly different in person compared to their images on our website. We create mock-ups to provide the best possible representation of our products. Nevertheless, due to the distinctive pressing process of these items, we cannot guarantee they will look exactly the same as depicted. Color variations may occur, so please keep this in mind while shopping with us.

While your product might slightly differ from the picture on our website, it also means you possess a truly one-of-a-kind, very rare copy!
