Nathan Fielders New Documentary on Elizabeth Holmes Premieres at Telluride, A24 Sets October Release
The film follows the former Theranos founder as she invites a film crew to document her life in the weeks leading up to her incarceration. Shot over three years, beginning when Holmes opened the door to the cameras 34 days before she began her sentence, the narrative weaves together her daily routine, candid conversations with the crew, and her reflections on the collapse of the blood‑testing empire she once built.
A24 released a one‑minute, 17‑second teaser trailer on its YouTube channel the day after the Telluride screening. The clip cuts to a close‑up of Holmes speaking directly into the camera, with Nathan Fielder maintaining a steady, unbroken stare. Within 24 hours the trailer had surpassed two million views. Commenters described the exchange as “scary,” noting that the interaction felt unsettling even compared to A24’s catalog of horror‑style films.
Holmes, born February 3, 1984, founded Theranos in 2003 and grew the company to a peak valuation of $9 billion in 2014. The firm claimed it could perform comprehensive blood tests from a finger‑prick, a claim that investigative reporting and regulatory scrutiny later proved false. In January 2022, Holmes was convicted of four felony counts of fraud and conspiracy; she was sentenced to 11 years and 3 months in prison, beginning May 30, 2023. She was ordered to pay $452 million in restitution jointly with former Theranos chief operating officer Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani. Holmes has two children—a son born in 2021 and a daughter born in 2023—with partner William “Billy” Evans. She is currently serving her sentence at Federal Prison Camp, Bryan, in Texas.
The Telluride screening was conducted under strict secrecy. Deadline reported that audience members were required to surrender all electronic devices, which were held until after the film’s conclusion. Variety’s Owen Gleiberman described the film’s second half as “intensified,” calling it a “one‑of‑a‑kind reality‑TV‑as‑hangout‑movie psychodrama circus.” Festival organizers confirmed that the event was a surprise, announced only a day before it took place.
A24 has a reputation for blending documentary realism with stylized storytelling. Its catalog includes Moonlight (2016), The Lighthouse (2019), and the 2026 horror film Backrooms, which earned the studio its highest‑grossing worldwide total. You Can See Everything adds a high‑profile biographical subject to A24’s slate and is positioned to attract audiences interested in the Theranos saga, a story that has already been explored in the Hulu miniseries The Dropout.
The film’s release follows a period of renewed public interest in Holmes. In September 2025, she was released from prison after her sentence was reduced by two years in July 2023 and an additional four months in May 2024. She remains scheduled for release on February 2, 2030, which would mark the completion of a nearly seven‑year term.
You Can See Everything is slated for a wide theatrical release on October 16, 2026, with no additional dates announced for streaming or home‑video distribution. Its reception will likely be influenced by the continued media coverage of Holmes’s legal status, the evolving public perception of Theranos, and the broader conversation about corporate fraud in Silicon Valley.
The film’s premiere at Telluride and its forthcoming theatrical debut underscore A24’s continued investment in documentary projects that probe complex, real‑world narratives. The release will add a new chapter to the ongoing coverage of Elizabeth Holmes and the legacy of Theranos, offering audiences a detailed, unfiltered look at a figure whose story has reshaped discussions about innovation, ethics, and accountability in the tech industry.
