After the success of Isolation over the past year and the well recieved live sound track performance at the Roundhouse earlier in the year Director Luke Seomore, and musicians Michael Garrad and David Stephens have decided to take the film on tour. The UK tour starts on the 14th in Greenwich and I am doing the live mix in the cinema for each night. So if we’re coming to a town near you then do come down and see what Little White Lies said was “One of the best documentaries I have seen in a long while.”

UPDATE: here are some photos that I took on tour.

I went to the Live Soundtrack Performance of Isolation at The Roundhouse, as part of the London Short Film Festival. I did the mix for the film so was very interesting to see the soundtrack being performed alongside my mix. I worked with Luke Seomore to produce a mix for them to play along to, and I was very impressed with the result. It was a very good performance from Luke and the band as well as being my first chance to see the film on the big screen. Originally performed at Branchage Festival in Jersey last year it was great to see the film being screened in London.

Isolation is a documentary film by Luke Seomore and Joseph Bull. The atmospheric documentary centers around the life of Stuart Griffiths an ex-Paratrooper, who has since become a renowned social photographer. He journeys through England encountering ex-soldiers, experiencing the physical and emotional scars of life after the Army.

The film premièred at the Edinburgh film festival in June 2009.
