Telluride audiences discovered a previously unseen documentary that offers unusually close footage of Elizabeth Holmes in the month before she began serving an 11-year sentence, and A24 has scheduled the film for release in October.
On Sunday night festivalgoers entered a 650-seat venue, surrendered phones and were told only that the work ran nearly three hours, had not screened elsewhere and that its principal creators were present. The surprise showing revealed You Can See Everything, a new film co-directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim.
The filmmakers were reportedly given rare proximity to Holmes and her husband, Billy Evans, during a narrow window of time: the 34 days before she reported to federal custody in May 2023 to begin the 11-year sentence handed down over charges she defrauded investors about her blood-testing technology. Since then her legal options have narrowed; appeals to overturn the conviction and shorten the term were rejected in February of last year.
After those appeals failed, Holmes sought clemency from President Trump last year, a petition that remains listed as pending and therefore under formal review. The new documentary focuses on the period immediately before she entered prison and, according to reports from the screening, captures scenes shot inside the couple’s domestic space. Nathan Fielder apparently stayed in the household’s guest house during filming, an arrangement that festival buzz described as producing extraordinary access.
Audience reaction at Telluride has also been amplified by the revelation that an A-list actress becomes part of the story, a detail that has been central to early chatter but was not elaborated at the secret premiere. A24 is now set to release You Can See Everything in October, moving the film from an exclusive festival surprise toward a wider public audience.
The film’s unexpected Telluride debut and A24’s pick-up make the documentary a likely focal point for renewed attention on Holmes’s case and the final weeks before she entered custody. The next checkpoint is the theatrical rollout planned for October, when viewers outside the festival will be able to judge the depth of the access the directors obtained.
