Clear Blue Tuesday is a musical motion picture from 2009, directed by Elizabeth Lucas. Its debut took place at the Quad Cinema in New York City on September 3, 2010.
Plot
Spanning seven years, the story follows eleven residents of New York who are impacted by the September 11 attacks, as they face their individual aspirations and struggles connected to that event.
Casting
Casting commenced in February 2007 under Elizabeth Lucas's direction. Michael Cassara led auditions, evaluating more than 120 actor/singer-songwriters for parts requiring both acting and original musical composition. The majority of the performers had experience in theater. Filming utilized several notable venues, such as 7 World Trade Center and Rockefeller Center, which were provided without charge.
Shooting
Principal photography occurred over 19 days on-site in New York City. Prior to filming, the cast laid down scratch-tracks for most musical pieces; however, two songs—Becca Ayers' "Brand New Sky" and Jan O'Dell's "The Day The Sky Fell"—were performed live during shooting.
