This last season. And I was, I was uncomfortable because I didn't know anybody there. And I always feel like an imposter because I don't really identify as an actor. But like, put me on the morning show. Reese, Jen, Jon Hamm, that's nothing.

Yeah. My friend of 25 years, Andrea Gibson, is a non-binary poet from Colorado. I mean, originally Maine, but Colorado. We met in Boulder and... Andrea is also the Poet Laureate of Colorado. A real talent. Has published eight books, toured the world, sold out theaters everywhere. And Andrea has stage four ovarian cancer. And our mutual friend, Steph Willen, and I

were talking one day and Steph was like, this would make, I feel like Andrea's life right now would make a really great documentary. And man, I haven't seen something so clearly in my life. It was one of those projects that was like just green lights the whole way through. We found the best filmmakers to make the film. They did the Pamela Anderson documentary.

Yeah. And we submitted to Sundance. I've been to Sundance four or five times. This movie got in unanimously. Everybody... Unanimously, it got in. And then it was really wild because we all rented an Airbnb at Sundance and went out there for the premiere. And because Andrea's not doing well. Great.

We were very specific and targeted with our time of going to premieres, doing whatever press we had to do. We weren't hanging out at parties and events and like the previous Sundance experiences I had had. We all went back to, we were calling it snuggle down and we would sit by the fire, have tea and just spend time together. And we knew that that, man, this really screened well.

But that's all we knew. That's all you know, yeah. Yeah, and we were like, well, this was amazing. And we left, and I went back to Toronto where I was filming, and I got this influx of texts and phone calls, and I got emotional because I was scared something happened to Andrea. And I called Stephanie, and I was telling her I was so scared to call back, and she was like...

you just, you have to, and it's going to be okay. And, and so I'm like, so emotional, scared to hear bad news. And I call Meg, who this movie is also about, that's Andrea's partner, who is also a poet. And, and I call and, Meg answers and she and Andrea are on speakerphone. They're like, did you hear? And I'm about to cry and I'm like, what? No, what? And they were like, we won the festival.

We won Sundance. And I was like, what? And then I'm emotional in the other direction because we didn't have any clue or vibe what our movie was doing. And it took home the top prize. And it wasn't just... of documentaries. It scripted everything. And our director was like, man, movies like ours never take home this prize. And so it was pretty incredible.
