A24 Surprises Telluride With Secret Elizabeth Holmes Documentary from Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim

A24 premiered a surprise documentary about Elizabeth Holmes at the 2026 Telluride Film Festival, with directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim securing the first on-camera interview the Theranos founder has given in a decade. The film, titled You Can See Everything, was announced as a top-secret screening and arrives in theatres this October. A24 has already released a teaser trailer (Variety; Rolling Stone).

Security at the Telluride screening was tight. Attendees had to lock their phones and electronic devices in sealed bags before entering the theatre (Deadline). The documentary runs 174 minutes — nearly three hours — and blends documentary footage with staged interview sequences, a format the filmmakers describe as hybrid.

Holmes was once celebrated as America's youngest self-made female billionaire, having convinced investors that she had invented a revolutionary blood-testing device for her company, Theranos. The company reached a $9 billion valuation in 2015 before being exposed as a fraud (Variety). Its board had included George P. Shultz, Henry Kissinger, and James Mattis. Among the investors referenced in the film are Larry Ellison and Rupert Murdoch (Deadline).

Holmes was found guilty on four counts of defrauding investors and sentenced in 2022 to 11 years in prison (Deadline). She agreed to be interviewed and allowed Fielder's crew into her home 36 days before she was to report to federal prison in Bryan, Texas.

Filming began in 2023 in top secrecy at Holmes's wood-paneled beachside home in Del Mar, California, where she lived with her partner Billy Evans, a California hotel heir, and their two children, including an infant daughter. Additional footage was picked up two years later (Deadline; Variety).

In the documentary, Holmes maintains her innocence, denying she ever lied about Theranos and asserting that her blood-testing experiment was legitimate (Deadline). Fielder, best known as the creator of the television shows The Curse and The Rehearsal, acts as a deadpan interviewer, questioning Holmes and Evans across the film. Evans appears in several scenes, including one taking a shower on camera (Deadline).

Fielder had been looking for a project to collaborate on with Oppenheim, a documentarian whose previous work includes Some Kind of Heaven (2020) and Primetime, which premiered at Venice. The two made the film with the support of A24, which told the filmmakers they could abandon the project if it did not work out (Variety; Deadline).

A24's official website now hosts a dedicated page for the film, listing Fielder and Oppenheim as directors (A24). Holmes has been the subject of extensive media coverage before this film, including a limited series in which Amanda Seyfried won an Emmy for portraying her (Deadline).

What sets this film apart is the access. A decade of silence from Holmes, broken in her own home, in the final weeks before prison — and on camera controlled by a filmmaker known for pushing the boundaries of documentary form. The result is a portrait that will reach audiences in theatres before the wider streaming and awards conversation takes hold.
