Documentary featuring Elizabeth Holmes and Nathan Fielder premieres at Telluride

A three-hour documentary co-directed by comedian Nathan Fielder and filmmaker Lance Oppenheim premiered at the Telluride Film Festival on Sunday, surprising attendees with a surprise screening. The film, titled "You Can See Everything," includes extensive footage of Elizabeth Holmes, the former Theranos CEO serving a prison sentence after her 2022 fraud conviction, and her fiancé Billy Evans.

The trailer, released the same day, opens with Holmes addressing Fielder directly, insisting she is being truthful despite her criminal record. Fielder responds with a brief acknowledgment before probing further. The interaction, described by the directors as both “strange and unnerving,” led Fielder to join the on-camera interview rather than remain behind the lens.

According to reports from festival attendees, Holmes and Evans invited the crew into their Southern California home 34 days before Holmes reported to a federal prison camp in Texas, seeking to present their own perspective on the widely publicized Theranos scandal. The documentary is scheduled for theatrical release on October 16.

Holmes, 42, was convicted of defrauding investors of hundreds of millions of dollars and ordered to pay $452 million in restitution. She maintains her innocence while serving a sentence of roughly ten years. The film follows her and Evans as they discuss plans for a potential new venture and the management of her public image.

Fielder, known for blending reality and comedy in projects such as "Nathan for You" and "The Rehearsal," said he hopes audiences will help him make sense of the experience, noting that he continues to grapple with what transpired during the filming. Oppenheim, whose recent work includes "Some Kind of Heaven" and the series "Ren Faire," added that the crew often disagreed on how to interpret events.

The documentary has generated interest for its unconventional approach and the involvement of a high-profile figure like Holmes, whose story was previously dramatized in the Hulu series "The Dropout."
