Nathan Fielder’s new film, “You Can See Everything,” explores the blurry line between truth and deception. The codirector sat down with WIRED to discuss his unusual approach to storytelling.
During the conversation, Fielder revealed that Elizabeth Holmes once called him unexpectedly. The former Theranos CEO told him, “I trust you,” according to the interview.
The call came as Fielder worked on projects involving people known for bending the truth. Holmes is currently serving a prison sentence for fraud related to her blood-testing company.
Fielder said the interaction raised questions about why deceptive figures seek out certain people. He described the moment as both surreal and revealing.
The film examines how trust operates in spaces where facts are contested. Fielder uses humor and discomfort to probe what audiences believe and why.
He explained that his work often places real people in staged situations to see what unfolds. This method draws criticism but also produces candid reactions.
The interview touches on how documentaries shape perception through editing and framing. Fielder acknowledged that every choice influences what viewers take away.
“You Can See Everything” continues Fielder’s interest in mixing reality with performance. The project asks viewers to question what they see and whom they trust.
