Another doc wins top prize 
- Andrea Gibson's cancer journey is actually pretty depressing in retrospect... thought she was gonna kick it for sure 
still congrats to the filmmakers & winners though, gotta appreciate a good story being told 
just saw this news about "Come See Me in the Good Light" winning top prize at Cinema Eye Honors... that documentary is so emotional I've been following Andrea Gibson's journey for ages, it's amazing to see Megan Falley's story getting recognized like this 
I'm also loving the fact that Lauren Greenfield's FX series "Social Studies" took home an award, her work is always so thought-provoking and insightful 
what's your take on these wins?
And that score? Mind. Blown. The cinematography on both "Come See Me in the Good Light" and "Apocalypse in the Tropics" is just incredible, I mean have you seen how they captured the struggles of Megan Falley's life journey? it's like you're right there with her 
! This documentary's nuanced exploration of Andrea Gibson's cancer journey not only showcases the poet's unflinching vulnerability but also celebrates the resilience of human relationships. The film's interdisciplinary approach, seamlessly weaving together poetry, music, and cinematography, is a testament to the power of hybrid storytelling in capturing the complexities of human experience.
. and i love that both andrea & megan got unforgettables honors - they're an incredible duo! 
. can't wait to check out the other winners, especially "The Alabama Solution" - I've heard it's a game-changer in storytelling 
. I mean, I love Andrea Gibson's poetry, but this film is more about being emotional than actually exploring any meaningful themes. And don't even get me started on the music score – it's like they took every sentimental playlist ever and mashed them all together 
not sure what's more impressive, the filmmaking or the fact that these two women shared their darkest moments with each other and still managed to find light in the darkness 
. can't wait to watch it 
, and I'm loving the diversity of winners - 'The Alabama Solution' & 'Apocalypse in the Tropics' are also Oscar-nominated 
i've seen some of their performances live and they're just incredible, can't wait to see what's next for them!!! 
that poem performance by andrea gibson gave me chills!! the way the film weaves together their struggles with cancer and art is so inspiring 
The way the filmmakers captured their journey with cancer is just masterful, you can feel the emotions and vulnerability. And that music score? 
It's like they perfectly wove poetry and sound into this beautiful film. Congrats to everyone involved on those Cinema Eye Honors wins!
