Winner of the Festival Favorite Award at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival

Two poets, one incurable cancer diagnosis. Andrea Gibson, the poet laureate of Colorado, and their partner, Megan Falley, go on a funny and poignant journey through love, life, and mortality. Coming from a rural town in Maine and (self-admittedly) not knowing all that many words, Andrea is still amazed they’ve made a career out of writing and performing poems. Through their poetry, Andrea has inspired hundreds of thousands. When Andrea was diagnosed with cancer, everything changed. The two poets discover that life is best lived between the big moments of victory and despair, where the small moments come alive to be cherished. Come See Me in the Good Light is an invitation to love better, laugh harder, and consider how accepting mortality can plant the seeds of bliss. Andrea’s journey is not a story about dying; it’s a story about living.

Directed by Ryan White
