Summary
A24 agreed to let Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim scrap “You Can See Everything” entirely if they failed to find a fresh angle on Elizabeth Holmes.
Fielder sought the provision because Holmes’ rise and fraud case had already spawned a podcast, a best-selling book, an Alex Gibney documentary and Hulu’s “The Dropout.”
Just 34 days remained before Holmes was due to enter prison, leaving the filmmakers unsure what access or story would emerge if they started shooting immediately.
Oppenheim said the clause “changed everything” by removing delivery pressure and giving the pair freedom to explore, while Fielder said it let him film without holding back.
