"Megan wanted to watch the film and Jessica [Hargrave, White's producer and lifelong best friend] held her hand throughout the film. Megan cried a lot, and Megan's not a crier. The way she described it was, 'Andrea just feels so alive in the movie.' She wanted to reach into the screen and pull Andrea back out. That's how I feel, too."
"Jess and I weren't there when Andrea took their last breath. We saw Andrea a week before they died, which was very special. And honestly, we didn't see it coming. I don't know how you'd measure those things, but it wasn't somebody that I would say, in a week, their body won't exist anymore,"
On December 4, the IndieWire Honors Winter 2025 ceremony will celebrate creators and stars responsible for crafting some of the year's best films. Selections curated by IndieWire's editorial team honor filmmakers, artisans, and performers behind noteworthy films. Magnify Award recipient Ryan White filmed Come See Me in the Good Light, documenting the life of genderqueer poet Andrea Gibson and writer Megan Falley. The documentary premiered at Sundance and connected deeply with audiences before Gibson's death in July, nearly five months after the premiere. A posthumous screening prompted Falley to cry and express that Gibson felt alive on screen. White and producer Jessica Hargrave saw Gibson a week before the death and had not anticipated the timing of their passing.
