Summary
Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Los Angeles Film Festival, BE HERE NOW (THE ANDY WHITFIELD STORY) is a love story that follows actor Andy Whitfield, of Spartacus television fame, and his wife, Vashti, as they take on the most heroic role he's ever had to play: fighting a deadly disease. With matching 'Be Here Now' tattoos on their arms, they vow to go on a quest to heal Andy from a cancer diagnosis by embracing life rather than fear.. It is their remarkable openess, infectious sense of humor and determination to make the journey more important that the destination, that makes this film what Film Journal International called, "one of the most important and essential documents ever made about [the subject].". Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature and nominated for a Documentary Award at the Los Angeles Film Festival.. "An extraordinarily moving, deeply personal, filmed diary...an unflinching portrait of a couple struggling to form a united front against mounting adversity." - Michael Rechtshaffen, The Los Angeles Times**. "Using an observational style to reveal the intricacies of a progressive disease and candid interviews...to strip away the veneer of celebrity implacability. The struggles are psychological as much as physical, with the couple trading their usual bantering conversations for resilient contemplation. Andy starts the battle in Spartacusђ́ةs defiant-warrior mode, but he finds greater strength in frailty and acceptance, the heroic stance of allowing himself to be human." - Village Voice
