Over the course of seven years, eleven New Yorkers affected by the events of September 11, 2001 are forced to confront themselves and the dreams that brought them to the city.
In February 2007, Elizabeth Lucas set out to cast the film. Casting director Michael Cassara brought in over 120 actor/singer-songwriters to audition for roles. Actors were for both on-screen roles and to write their own musical numbers.[2] Much of the cast came from a theatrical background. Several high-profile locations, including 7 World Trade Center and Rockefeller Center were donated for use in the film free of charge.[2]
Clear Blue Tuesday was shot in just 19 days on location in New York City.[2] Prior to production, the cast recorded a scratch-track of most of the film’s story-telling soundtrack, although two songs were recorded for the first time live on the set: Becca Ayers’ “Brand New Sky” and Jan O’Dell’s “The Day The Sky Fell.”
