Charlie Kaufman’s new short film, How to Shoot a Ghost, just got its first trailer. The 27-minute film is produced by Unmade, a production company that Halsey appears to have co-founded with her manager, Anthony Li, and her fiance, Avan Jogia. Unmade is credited alongside several other producers in the program for Venice Biennale, where the film is premiering. Watch the trailer below, via Variety.
Jessie Buckley and Josef Akiki star in the film, which has a screenplay by Eva H.D. and centers on a pair of outsiders, a translator and photographer, as they materialize in a realm of the afterlife that is also Athens, Greece. Rufus and Martha Wainwright have covered Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day” for the film. Kaufman and Eva H.D. also collaborated on the 2023 short Jackals & Fireflies.
The How to Shoot a Ghost trailer arrives on the same day that Halsey releases an anniversary edition of her debut album, Badlands. She’ll begin the Back to Badlands Tour in October.
