Filmmakers Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim have unveiled their new documentary, "You Can See Everything," offering a rare glimpse into the life of Elizabeth Holmes. The film debuted as a surprise screening at the Telluride Film Festival and centers on Holmes in the period before her incarceration for fraud.
Fielder and Oppenheim recounted a "disorienting experience" in filming Holmes, who had largely remained out of the public eye for years. They noted her remarkable sincerity, which contrasted sharply with her criminal conviction.
The directors reached out to Holmes and her partner, Billy Evans, after learning A24 was considering a documentary. Fielder and Oppenheim spent approximately 35 days filming, even staying at the couple's guest house. They admitted to persistent confusion about Holmes's motivations for allowing them access.
Their crew also experienced significant disagreement over their interpretations of events, highlighting the confounding nature of the situation. "You Can See Everything" was filmed primarily in 2023, with the documentary now heading to theaters on October 16.
