Ella van der Woude created the intimate soundtrack for How to Shoot a Ghost — the new short film by director Charlie Kaufman (director of Synecdoche, New York, writer of Being John Malkovich, and Oscar winner for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).
Ella van der Woude: “When the producers reached out about scoring a short film directed by Charlie Kaufman, I honestly assumed it was someone starting out who simply shared his name. I didn’t know he had directed another short before this one, and the whole situation felt too unlikely to be real.”
How to Shoot a Ghost was performed by Alistair Sung (cello), Hristo Goleminov (saxophone), Brent Arnold (cello), and Ella van der Woude (piano, synthesizer).
