Their feature documentary Isolation premiered at Edinburgh International Film Festival in 2009. The film received numerous positive reviews,The Guardian wrote that Isolation was 'a beautifully attuned piece of work' while Sight and Sound wrote 'The film replicates this chaos by introducing a potent clash of poetry and magic realism in between the naturalistic interviews.' and Little White Lies proclaimed it was one of the three best British films at EIFF, describing the documentary had a 'visually stunning aesthetic that is absolutely riveting, a vital and important documentary that stays with you long after it has finished'
The film also caught the attention of English film director Ken Loach, who described the film as 'important document of the experiences of ex-soldiers through the eyes of someone who knows.’ Dazed & Confused magazine commissioned a discussion between Seomore and Loach, to celebrate the release of Route Irish.
