00:00Hi, I'm Megan Fowley, and you're watching Life Minute TV.
00:04Our film is called Come See Me in the Good Light,
00:07and it's about Megan Fowley and her partner, Andrea Gibson,
00:10who's the Poet Laureate of Colorado.
00:12And their life over the past year is Andrea's been dealing with stage four ovarian cancer.
00:16So it sounds on face value like a very sad and bleak film,
00:21but it's actually very life-affirming, extremely funny because of this one,
00:26and Andrea, and I would say pretty joyful when it comes down to it.
00:31There's so much room to find joy, laughter, beauty, dancing, silliness,
00:39even in the hardest moments.
00:41And I've heard that a lot of people end up calling, after they see the film,
00:46calling the people that they love and expressing their love,
00:49and that I think is the best thing to come out of it.
00:51That's exactly what I want to happen.
00:53This film is one of those kind of films that in the same scene,
00:58you can be crying real tears and then laughing, belly laugh, out loud.
01:05It's the testament of living life, even in the hardest of times,
01:12with the most beautiful, optimistic, connected way.
01:17You know, to be included in Tribeca is a testament to not only how good the film is,
01:23but how incredible the people who have made this film are.
01:28It's really a dream team of filmmakers, and we've become, I don't know,
01:33it's just like this beautiful film that's brought us all even closer.
01:36I think it's the most beautiful, collaborative, creative experience we've ever had.
01:44The people involved have become family to us,
01:46and we can't imagine a more important story to tell right now in this country,
01:51in this moment where it's so important to stay human and stay tender,
01:54and that's what this film's about.
