A24 Unveils Trailer for Holmes Documentary
Independent entertainment studio A24 has officially released the trailer for ‘You Can See Everything,’ a new documentary directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim featuring convicted Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes [1][2]. The film is scheduled to hit theaters in October 2026, marking a significant cultural revisit to one of modern corporate history’s most infamous fraud sagas [1]. Holmes, who was convicted of fraud in 2022 for misleading investors regarding Theranos’ blood-testing technology, remains a central figure in corporate governance discussions regarding Silicon Valley startup culture and executive oversight [1]. The release of the trailer on September 6, 2026, confirms months of industry speculation surrounding the project [1].
The Telluride Film Festival Premiere
Prior to the public trailer release, the documentary held its world premiere as a secret screening at the Telluride Film Festival on September 6, 2026 [1]. Industry reports indicated that the 174-minute movie was part of a surprise screening where all electronic devices, including phones and smart watches, were bagged and locked via the Yondr system prior to entry [3][4]. This strict security protocol heightened anticipation among industry insiders and journalists attending the festival’s largest venue, the Herzog Theatre [3]. Sources initially described the project as a hybrid element film bought by A24 in a competitive situation rather than produced in-house [3][4].
Contextualizing Corporate Fraud
The documentary re-examines the Theranos scandal through a satirical lens, focusing on the period leading up to Holmes’s incarceration [1]. Elizabeth Holmes began serving an over 11-year sentence in federal prison in May 2023 following her convictions for defrauding investors [1]. The film’s synopsis details a three-year production journey, which reportedly started thirty-four days before Holmes entered prison, approximately April 2023 [1]. This timeline provides a unique vantage point into the final days of freedom for a high-profile executive before significant legal consequences are enforced.
Directors and Production Details
The project features Fielder and Oppenheim, both known for prior distinct projects in the documentary and comedy space [1]. Fielder is recognized for ‘Nathan for You’ (2013–2017) and ‘The Rehearsal,’ while Oppenheim’s credits include ‘Some Kind of Heaven’ (2020) and ‘Ren Faire’ (2024) [1]. The theatrical release is confirmed for October 2026, following the successful festival debut [2]. This release schedule positions the film as a key topic of discussion for the upcoming quarter in the entertainment and business sectors [2].
