Nathan Fielder is a filmmaker and comedic actor who’s worked with the documentary format for most of his career, though he’s mostly set out to bend reality with his satiric interests, generating incredible television with work on “Nathan for You” and “The Rehearsal.” He knows how to deploy his deadpan persona, even happy to play the dumb guy to help interact with his subjects, creating thought-provoking and often hilarious encounters along the way. Fielder joins co-director Lance Oppenheim (“Primetime”) for “You Can See Everything,” out to generate a cinematic portrait of Theranos co-founder Elizabeth Holmes during a 34 day countdown to the beginning of her prison sentence, about to spend the next 11 years of her life behind bars for multiple counts of fraud. Elizabeth is someone who’s been explored in all forms of media, but she offers the filmmakers access to this vulnerable time in her life, putting Fielder on the case to best understand the woman, her decisions, and her relationship with partner Billy Evans, who promises the production “radical transparency” as the month commences.
