In an interview with director Ryan White following the screening of “Come See Me in the Good Light” at Independent Film Festival Boston, Andrea Gibson talked about how they used to hope they would die alongside everyone they loved at the same time. They’d since come to realize, however, the magic of “taking turns.”
“It’s one thing that we all share, and I don’t want to shy away from the raw truth of it and how it sort of just pummels you into the heart of love…
“Right when they told me I had ovarian cancer, I remember just, like, my jaw dropping at this world, and I suddenly knew I was going to die and I could not believe I had spent my life not knowing I was going to die, and I suddenly could look at everyone in my life and see that they were going to die. There’s something about this that’s magic as painful as it is. It’s the magic of life. It’s the brevity of it.”
Come honor Andrea’s too-brief yet brave, generous and magnificently human life with us as we screen “Come See Me in the Good Light” the day it premieres.
We’re excited to offer this opportunity to experience the light they were and to gather around the many gifts they left us, including permission to make space for our big feelings.
The film journeys with Andrea and their partner Megan Falley as they face Andrea’s incurable cancer in what might be their final year together.
We look forward to being with you on Friday, November 14, at 7:30 p.m. at Harmonie Hall, 4372 Fleming St., Philadelphia.
