Come See Me in the Good Light is a tender and unexpectedly humorous love story that illuminates the strength of art and human connection in the face of mortality. The film follows award-winning poets Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley, whose relationship becomes a radiant act of resilience after Andrea’s diagnosis of an incurable cancer. What unfolds is not a story about dying, but about living—and doing so with astonishing wit, tenderness, and creative courage.
Through intimate footage, poetry readings, and conversations between the two artists, the film reveals a partnership defined by laughter as much as by loss. Their shared language—equal parts verse and vulnerability—transforms pain into purpose, crafting a portrait of love that refuses to bow to despair. Andrea’s unflinching honesty and Megan’s steadfast humor bring a sense of raw authenticity, inviting audiences to see beauty in impermanence and to recognize the light that persists through every shadow.
The story’s power lies in its humanity. It doesn’t idealize illness or romanticize struggle; instead, it finds joy in the contradictions—days when exhaustion and laughter coexist, when grief gives way to grace, and when art becomes both witness and balm. Come See Me in the Good Light ultimately celebrates how creativity and love intertwine to help us face life’s deepest truths.
The screening takes place at the Sunflower Theatre in Cortez, a cornerstone of arts and culture in the Four Corners region. The impetus for the theatre began in 2008, when the City of Cortez and the Montezuma Arts Council recognized a community need for a dedicated cultural venue that could also strengthen Main Street’s economic vitality. In 2009, KSJD Community Radio Project, Inc. purchased the historic building, launching a $1.5 million renovation that would bring new life to one of Cortez’s most iconic downtown structures. After years of planning and restoration, the theatre opened in 2015 and now welcomes more than 4,500 patrons annually for music, theatre, film, and community events.
Grounded in KSJD’s mission to inform, entertain, and empower the people of the Four Corners through arts, culture, and public media service, the Sunflower Theatre stands as a beacon for stories like this—stories that find light in the most human of places.
