A refreshing and creative take on the 9/11 story, Clear Blue Tuesday follows 11 musicians and actors — all virtual unknowns, plucked from NYC's comedy clubs, off-Broadway stages, and rock clubs — who struggle through and eventually overcome the disaster, rediscovering the hope, drive, and sheer creativity that brought them to New York in the first place. The film was written by director Elizabeth Lucas and the cast, as they went, making for a unique final product, buoyed by original songwriting, as well.

Quad Cinema says…

It all begins on Tuesday, September 11, 2001 – but it’s about what comes after. In the wake of their own personal encounters with disaster, a group of interconnected New Yorkers begins to grapple with -- and rediscover -- the dreams that first brought them to the city. As the camera and the music penetrate these eleven diverse but inter-woven worlds on seven different September Tuesdays, the audience witnesses as each one discovers how to breathe the clear, blue air all over again. CLEAR BLUE TUESDAY was created via an inventive creative process combining instinctual character creation, improv performances and deeply personal songwriting. The film is directed by Elizabeth Lucas and written by Lucas and the film’s cast.
