It&#8217;s a story about a woman who can&#8217;t allow anyone to get close to her, who has to face a ghost connecting her to her past life in order to go on with her current one. Before I begin every script, I feel out a playlist comprised of songs that immerse me and help me visualize the beginning\/middle\/end of the character&#8217;s journeys and the emotional themes of the script. I also make a soundtrack of the music I would pair with certain scenes if I were directing, in order of the story. It really helps me stay in the world of the script and unfold it with more depth. The mix for this script has a lot of music that&#8217;s really creepy and haunting when I&#8217;m listening to it in the darkness, with the only light in the room coming from my computer screen, so it helps me write a scary ghost story. The soundtrack is made up of songs that are haunting in a human, existential way, and it helps me hang on to the character as she weaves through the script, uncovering what is her past in a previous chapter of her human history, and thus, allowing herself to become whole.<\/p>\n<p>This script&#8217;s soundtrack:<\/p>\n<p>1. Harmony -Clinic<br \/>2. Your Ghost -Kristin Hersh<br \/>3. Into the Night -Angelo Badalamenti<br \/>4. At Least We Tried -Moby<br \/>5. Shine -Operatica<br \/>6. Unmarked Helicopters -Soul Coughing<br \/>7. Little Drop of Poison -Tom Waits<br \/>8. Eyepennies -Sparklehorse<br \/>9. Inertia Creeps -Massive Attack<br \/>10. About Her -Malcolm Mclaren<br \/>11.

Haunted -Poe<br \/>17. Exit Music (For a Film) -Radiohead<\/p>\n<p>If you guys have access to a jukebox site (like Real Rhapsody), put together this playlist.
