Description:

“Andre is an Idiot” is a documentary film about André Ricciardi, a San Francisco man who’s dying from colon cancer. It’s also a comedy. 

After he was diagnosed with stage-four colon cancer, Andre asked his friend and director Tony Benna to document his wild end-of-life journey. “Andre is an Idiot” is Tony’s first feature film, and it’s also a Sundance-award winning film. 

KALW’s Jenee Darden spoke with Tony Benna for “The Sights + Sounds Show.” Here’s an excerpt from their conversation.
