Come See Me In The Good Light is a poignant and unexpectedly funny love story about poets Andrea Gibson (activist and Colorado Poet Laureate) 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.

Come See Me in the Good Light was shortlisted for Documentary Feature Film in the 98th annual Academy Awards and is presented to honor the first anniversary of Andrea’s death.

This film was supported by Utah Film Center’s Fiscal Sponsorship Program. Fiscal Sponsorship has supported over 450 projects.
