Come See Me in the Good Light

NEW DOCS
This remarkable love story follows two poets, Megan Falley and Andrea Gibson, as they embrace their life together while coming to terms with an incurable cancer diagnosis. In interviews they describe how they met, what poetry and performing mean to them, and how living with illness has altered their day-to-day lives. We spend time with the lovers at home with their dogs and are present for intimate exchanges as they experience setbacks and successes. Andrea works toward performing a live show, even as treatments threaten to silence their voice. As Meg authors a new book, the pair share their writing with one another. Director Ryan White beautifully laces audio of their words throughout the film, and light, too, becomes a central character—the soft darkness of their bedroom, the afternoon sun as it spills across the living room floor. Come See Me in the Good Light is a luminous study in holding onto, and expressing, gratitude and humor without hiding from the fear of grief. ST
