Apple TV+ announced today that it has landed the global rights to the acclaimed 2025 Sundance Film Festival selection and Festival Favorite Award-winning documentary, “Come See Me in the Good Light,” from director Ryan White. Following its world premiere at the festival, the film has been widely praised as a “beautifully crafted” and “exceptional documentary” that offers a “touching look at the fragility of human life.” The film also won the Audience Award at the Boulder International Film Festival, Cleveland International Film Festival and Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. “Come See Me in the Good Light” will make its global debut on Apple TV+ this fall.

“Come See Me in the Good Light” is a poignant and unexpectedly funny love story about poets Andrea Gibson 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” is directed by White (“Pamela, A Love Story,” “The Keepers,” “Visible: Out on Television”) who also produces alongside Jessica Hargrave (“Pamela, A Love Story,” “The Keepers,” “Visible: Out on Television”), Tig Notaro (“The Morning Show,” “Star Trek,” “Am I OK?”) and Stef Willen (“Em,” “Have Tig at Your Party”).

The film features an original song performed by Grammy Award winner and Emmy Award nominee Sara Bareilles, and Grammy Award winner, Emmy Award winner and Academy Award nominee Brandi Carlile, written by Andrea Gibson, Bareilles and Brandi Carlile.

Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach, Lauren Haber, Joe Lewis, Rachel Eggebeen, Colin King Miller, Catherine Carlile, Brandi Carlile, Susan Yeagley, Kevin Nealon, Galia Gichon, Bareilles, Amanda Doyle, Christi Offutt, Soraida Bedoya, Melony Lewis and Adam Lewis serve as executive producers.
