Turning the Darkness into an Electric, Poetic Light

Come See Me in the Good Light follows two poets, Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley, as they confront an unimaginable challenge: an incurable cancer diagnosis.

Hearing that premise, you might instinctively think, "Hard pass, I'm looking for something light." But here’s the catch: the film is described as a perfect blend of poignant honesty and unexpected humor. Instead of wallowing in darkness, these two transform their pain into an electric, joyful purpose.

The result is a profoundly powerful celebration of resilience and their partnership. This isn't a story about losing a battle; it’s about winning by remaining relentlessly and authentically themselves until the credits roll. It is one of those rare documentary pieces that truly touches the soul, leaving you with a deep desire to connect with your loved ones and feel things fully.

Come See Me in the Good Light hits select theaters and streams globally on Apple TV on November 14, 2025. Check out the trailer below:

Where Bad Space and Good Music Collided

My first apartment was in Malate, and calling it “small” would be generous. I lived there with two girls and one guy, and to this day, I genuinely don’t know how we all fit. It felt like a magic trick. Or a health hazard. We were a musical mess. One roommate lived and breathed ’70s classics. Another was permanently blasting Korn and Slipknot. One survived solely on cheesy love songs. And me? I was floating somewhere between new wave and folk rock, pretending that made sense. Somehow, despite the noise and the chaos, we all lived together in this weird, mismatched harmony. No murders. No lawsuits. A win, honestly. My music taste now is nothing like it was in my twenties. Not even close. But I’ll always be grateful to Jacqueline for introducing me to this song in particular. It was playing when I woke up from a very memorable sleep in 2002. I was 21, half-awake, probably confused about life, and that song stuck. It still hasn’t let go.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Irene Saputra's Colorful Stitched Pieces

Embroidery is nowhere near forgotten, and in fact, it's experiencing something of a resurgence as artists around the globe are putting their own unique spins on the craft. Indonesia's Irene Saputra is one of them, and more than 45,000 people on Instagram already follow her.  Handmade from colorful threads stitched onto fabric, Irene's embroideries begin as original illustrations. What I really like about her stitched pieces is that some of them are meant to be worn. Look at an array of her handiwork!
