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:

When Mickey Went Gothic

In the 1930s, Universal's hits like Dracula and Frankenstein had everyone buzzing, and Walt Disney wanted a piece of that spooky action for his biggest star. The result was The Mad Doctor —a frantic, gothic horror show where Mickey Mouse has to brave a booby-trapped castle full of dancing, self-assembling skeletons to rescue his snatched dog, Pluto. It was the first time audiences saw a truly terrified Mickey. Not only did some theaters refuse to screen the short film, but the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC) outright banned it, deeming it "too gruesome" for kids.
