\"FestivalFor the past six years,\u00a0Festival Music House<\/a>\u00a0has aimed to introduce local and visiting film and television industry to emerging and established Canadian musicians. Produced in conjunction with\u00a0Radio Starmaker Fund<\/a>, the goal of the event is to not only celebrate the importance of music in film, but to also connect talented Canadian artists and their music with upcoming film\/television projects. This year,\u00a0Half Moon Run\u00a0and\u00a0Kid Koala,\u00a0two of this year\u2019s performers, have done just that.

Half Moon Run\u00a0contributed an original song\u00a0to acclaimed director Jean-Marc Vall\u00e9e\u2019s (Dallas Buyers Club, Wild) new film\u00a0Demolition<\/a>, premiering at TIFF and starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Naomi Watts. The band will release their sophomore album, ‘Sun Leads Me On,’ on Oct. 23.<\/p>\n

Canadian DJ Kid Koala continues his involvement in the film world, having previously contributed to scores and soundtracks for\u00a0Looper,\u00a0The Great Gatsby, and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.\u00a0This year, Kid Koala is responsible for the music of\u00a0Zoom<\/a>, a Canadian-Brazilian co-production directed by Pedro Morelli and starring Gael Garcia Bernal, Mariana Ximenes, Alison Pill and Don McKellar.<\/p>\n

New this year, Festival Music House has partnered with Rhombus Media and Elevation Pictures to host the official after party for\u00a0Closet Monster<\/span><\/a>, the highly anticipated debut feature film by Canadian writer\/director\u00a0Stephen Dunn. The coming-of-age story follows teen Oscar Madly (played by former TIFF Rising Star\u00a0Connor Jessup), a creative and driven teenager who hovers on the brink of adulthood. Destabilized by his dysfunctional parents, unsure of his sexuality, and haunted by horrific images of a tragic gay bashing he witnessed as a child, Oscar dreams of escaping the town, family and past he feels is suffocating him. A talking hamster, imagination and the prospect of love help him confront his surreal demons and discover himself. The movie also stars current TIFF Rising Star\u00a0Aliocha Schneider\u00a0and three-time Oscar winner\u00a0Isabella Rossellini.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile writing Closet Monster, listening to music was one of the most important vehicles that helped catapult my ideas on the page. It\u2019s amazing to see how the film ended up manifesting with most of the music it was actually written to,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0said\u00a0writer\/director Dunn<\/span>.\u00a0\u201cFestival Music House is one of the best and most important TIFF parties. The\u00a0<\/em>Closet Monster\u00a0team is excited to be partnering with FMH as we showcase the strong connection between Canadian cinema and our dynamic, vibrant music industry.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
