Apple has landed global rights to Come See Me in the Good Light, the latest documentary from three-time Emmy nominee Ryan White (Pamela, A Love Story), which won the Festival Favorite Award in its premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
Produced by White, along with Jessica Hargrave (Pamela, A Love Story, The Keepers), comedian and actor Tig Notaro (The Morning Show, Am I OK?), and Stef Willen (Em, Have Tig at Your Party), the film is set to premiere on Apple TV+ this fall.
The doc is a love story centered on poets Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley, who face 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.
Over the course of its festival run, the documentary has also picked up major accolades at the Boulder Film Festival, the Cleveland Film Festival, and the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. Featuring an original song performed by Sara Bareilles and Brandi Carlile, which the pair wrote with Andrea Gibson, its executive producers include 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.
