ENTER THE WORLD OF TUESDAY FILM AND EXPLORE WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LIVE IN A TOWN JUST SLIGHTLY BIGGER THAN SMALL. LOOK CLOSER.
EXT. SPRINGFIELD - DAY
FROM THE SKY, WE SEE PEOPLE. THEY DON'T NOTICE THEY'RE BEING
NOTICED, BECAUSE IN SPRINGFIELD, YOU CAN LIVE A LONG LIFE AND
NEVER BE ANYTHING. YOU CAN LIVE A LONG LIFE AND NEVER BE
NOTICED. INSTEAD, TODAY, WE WATCH. WE TAKE NOTES.
EVERYONE IS IMPORTANT.
I'm supposed to remember something.
I wrote it down somewhere for my future self to find when I need
to. I've sprinkled stuff around everywhere. I could possibly
look. Like clues. Then I follow them. I never find it. This is a
fool's plan and I'm the proof.
I reassure myself by thinking, "I'll remember what I need to, when it matters, at the right time and place." Everything happens for a reason! I think some people were born at just the right time and place and tasked with the sole purpose of teaching me a lesson. It's sad, but true. And I must be better than them. It's like, one more wrong move and I'll end up like them. One more wrong move and I'll end up in another time and place with another purpose!
Well, I'll go there.
I like it here. I hate it here. It's not so bad for now.
This place is as good as any...

This place is as good as any...
TUESDAY FILM IS AN 11-MINUTE EXPERIMENTAL DRAMA SHOOTING IN NOVEMBER 2022 WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY KAYLINN CLOTFELTER.
Tuesday Film is an experimental, coming-of-age drama following the life and thoughts of Kasey, who is overburdened by the beautiful scenes she sees while driving around Springfield, MO. Not vast landscapes, rolling hills and valleys of flourishing wildlife, not sandy beaches paired with perfect blue skies and crashing waves, but the beautiful, in-between moments of everyday life.
Tuesday Film takes place in a modern-day Springfield, MO. It shows us the moments of near kismet, when all the colors match, when people are happy doing nothing really, and when a girl is caught up in the wonder of it all.
Tuesday Film is a self-portrait painted through a series of character vignettes. It’s about looking beyond yourself, looking closer at everything as it happens around you, learning to love where you’re from, and figuring out who you will become. It deals with themes of femininity, finding independence in a town where everyone knows almost everyone, and figuring out who you are outside of who your family has raised you to be.
KEY CHARACTERS
KASEY
Kasey is our main character and protagonist of Tuesday Film. She wants to be famous for a variety of reasons: famous filmmaker, famous actress, famous model, famous photographer, famous writer. The problem is you can’t really become the greatest at anything if you’re trying to do everything. She’s so indecisive, not to mention a bit of a brat, and she has a horrible habit of trying to embody her favorite character from the most recent movie she watched. Okay, okay, now she does have some endearing qualities. She’s a good friend, or at least she really wants to be. She’s loyal to those she loves and she wants them to be able to see the beauty she sees in the world. Her positive outlook is driven by a naive spirit. She’s been protected from true hardship her whole life.
RICHARD
Richard is old, tired, and innocent. He has nowhere to go and no one waiting for him. He has had a hard life. Trial after trial has led him to where he is today, sitting outside of a gas station every day. He’s too old to work, although he would if he could. His foot is broken and his back has grown to be crooked. He can live off of the small snacks and drinks people give to him on their way out of the station, and he can manage to walk across the street to sleep in the park when it gets late.
LAYTON
Layton is the leader of the unstoppable four-man friend group of degenerate drug-dealing boys: Layton, Puck, Seamus, and Newton. His main drug of choice, currently, is acid, although it's not necessarily helping him open his mind to a more free-loving spirit. More like multiplying his sense that everything will work out for him even though he doesn't do any work. He never makes plans, never sticks to ones that are made for him, and truly chases after every shiny thing that might pass him by. Well, maybe that is a little bit "free-loving", but it's all without considering the needs of others.
KATIE
Katie is the Yin to Kasey’s Yang. She is the grounding force behind Kasey’s directionless ambition. Katie has worked the same job at a sushi restaurant since high school, her one fault being she is sometimes late, but rarely. She is modest with her time, and doesn’t just give it to anyone who gives her an ounce of attention. She chooses her friends wisely, and sees the best in Kasey — her loyalty and devotion to friendships. Katie probably has her own version of Tuesday Film, a softer, sweeter version.
OUR GOAL IS TO SHOW YOU A CITY YOU MAY HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE, OR TO GIVE A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON A CITY YOU’VE GOTTEN WAY TOO USED TO SEEING. TO NOTICE THE SIMPLE MOMENTS. TO LOOK CLOSER.

It is my deepest regret that I did not, or rather, could not
capture these moments as they were happening. Instead, I went
outside every Tuesday and hoped to see it happen again.
The WALLS OF THE ROOM DROP to reveal it was built on a
THEATRE STAGE. KASEY remains in place, exposed.
Why do people need to see what I'm seeing? Do they
see me in themselves like I do in them?
