“My story is one about happiness – being easier to find once we realize we do not have forever to find it.” Apple TV has revealed the first official trailer for the documentary film titled Come See Me In The Good Light, made by the award-winning doc filmmaker Ryan White (also of The Case Against 8, Serena, Ask Dr. Ruth, Assassins, Good Night Oppy). This doc already won the prestigious “Festival Favorite Award” at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival earlier in the year – making it the favorite of ALL the films at the fest voted by the public. Come See Me In The Good Light is a poignant and unexpectedly comical love story about the poets Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley facing an incurable cancer diagnosis with joy, wit and an unshakable partnership. Through laughter and unwavering love, they transform pain into purpose, and mortality into a moving celebration of resilience. Sadly, Andrea Gibson passed away a few months back at age 49 of ovarian cancer, meaning this doc about her is now being released posthumously. Gibson was appointed as the Poet Laureate of Colorado in 2023. This moving film is not only about the struggles of dealing with cancer, it is also about poetry and hope and progress – and all the beauty that is found in this world thanks to real love.
