Starkey has scored the room-sized VR Experience, Vestige, for the UK's NSC Creative. The film premiered at this year's Tribeca Film Festival as part of the Tribeca Immersive Series.
Vestige is a documentary that takes the viewer on a journey into the mind of Lisa as she remembers her lost love, Erik. As participants explore the various memories, their actions trigger new stories which reveal other details of the story.
The film is directed by Aaron Bradbury and produced by Paul Mowbray, Antoine Cayrol and Jill Klekas Basmajian. Paris-based, Atlas V, and Emmy-award winning media company RYOT, also produced the film with funding through Kaleidoscope. UK-based Other Set secured the distribution of the film with a Spring 2019 release for Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Microsoft VR headsets.
Starkey was brought on early-on in the project with Crashing Sphere from the Civil Music released "Orbits" album, being one of the early inspirations for the film. Starkey's original score was based around Crashing Sphere, culminating with the track highlighting one of the key crescendos of the film.
