Room Tone is an affectionately intimate behind-the-scenes look at filmmakers and filmmaking, through the eyes of Nica Lind, the gifted and photogenic daughter of a French Nouvelle Vague actress and a Swedish Cinematographer. Film-addicted at age 10, Nica enters the family business in her teens. When her success in Europe draws the notice of a powerful Hollywood agent, she goes to California and becomes a star in a hit TV series. Grateful for recognition, insane amounts of money and talented colleagues, Nica nonetheless feels out of place. Needing to be where the work she loves lives and where she is at home, both professionally and personally, she returns to Europe and to the new post-national cinema. Gale Zoë Garnett invests this character-rich homage to film life and art with clear-eyed love, wicked wit, and an insider's understanding.

Review
Room Tone is a brilliantly articulated act of love it embraces film and the world of filming with wide but knowing eyes and a forgiving nature. Gale Zoë Garnett leads us with wisdom, compassion and humour into a bittersweet charmed circle that we long to be a part of. --Martin Sherman, Playwright, ( Bent ), screenwriter ( Mrs Henderson Presents )
A delightfully witty, entertaining romp. Zoë Garnett's blithe heroine takes everything from fame, to orgies, to cinematic genius in her stride. Room Tone is a chocolate truffle with a heart of gold. --Sky Gilbert
