André Is an Idiot (2026)

A man diagnosed with a preventable terminal illness documents his final journey with humor, honesty, and surreal imagination.

André Is an Idiot is a wildly honest and unexpectedly funny documentary about facing the end of life head-on. After learning he is dying from a preventable cancer, André Ricciardi decides to document his final chapter with brutal honesty, dark humor, and a refusal to follow anyone else's rules about how to process it.

Working closely with director Tony Benna, André turns his experience into something deeply personal and creatively bold, blending real-life footage with surreal stop-motion sequences that reflect how his mind processes fear, absurdity, and everything in between. What emerges is not just a story about death, but a defiant celebration of life, humor, and the messy, unpredictable ways people confront the inevitable.
