private life of disgraced Silicon Valley startup founder Elizabeth Holmes will soon be aired to the public in a startling new documentary filmed in the 34 days before she went to prison.<\/p>\n<p>The buzzy film from Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, out in US theaters October 16, captures the reclusive former executive\u2019s world in the month before her incarceration for fraud at her now-defunct health technology company Theranos, whose lofty promises it couldn\u2019t deliver.<\/p>\n<p>Theranos falsely touted technology capable of performing medical tests using only a few drops of blood.<\/p>\n<p>The project took Silicon Valley by storm in the early 2010s, as young entrepreneur Holmes drew investors \u2014 including Henry Kissinger, Carlos Slim and Rupert Murdoch \u2014 to her project.<\/p>\n<p>But her fall proved just as rapid.<\/p>\n<p>The sensational trial of Holmes ended in her 2022 sentencing to more than 11 years in prison for fraud and conspiracy.<\/p>\n<p>The scandal fueled a media circus and was chronicled in a book, multiple podcasts, and the biographical mini-series \u201cThe Dropout\u201d that starred Amanda Seyfried.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Holmes herself shied from the public eye, making the surprise release of the documentary \u201cYou Can See Everything\u201d all the more astonishing when it debuted to high praise at the Telluride Film Festival in September.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 \u2018Really sad and hard\u2019 \u2013<\/p>\n<p>The film follows her life at home with partner Billy Evans and their two children, a hybrid of documentary and reality television portrayal that drew laughter, gasps and applause at a Los Angeles screening this week.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian comedian, writer and producer Fielder is famous for harnessing the power of awkwardness, cringe and deadpan wit to great, if unsettling, comedic effect.<\/p>\n<p>He and Oppenheim said it was Holmes who initiated conversations with independent entertainment company A24 about documenting her daily life.<\/p>\n<p>After a few meetings with the filmmakers, they said she invited them into her California home.<\/p>\n<p>And things got strange.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday\u2019s screening was attended by celebrities including Zach Cregger, Hannah Einbinder, Meg Stalter, Aziz Ansari and Hasan Piker, and during a discussion afterward the directors described their experience as \u201creally sad and hard at times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI still am not sure to this day, like, what I experienced, and it\u2019s one of the reasons I\u2019m excited for it to like come out and more people see it, because it was just a small group for so long,\u201d Fielder said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe it being out there, like everyone could help me understand what I went through a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 \u2018Uncomfortable\u2019 \u2013<\/p>\n<p>Oppenheim said neither Holmes nor Evans voiced familiarity with his work when they opened their doors.<\/p>\n<p>Fielder \u2014 the comic behind hit series like \u201cThe Rehearsal\u201d and \u201cNathan For You,\u201d shows that blur the line between reality and fiction \u2014 said there was \u201cnever a great explanation\u201d as to why he should helm the project, \u201cor why you would want to spend your last month of freedom in a decade with this guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like to see myself as like a nice person overall, but still, I wouldn\u2019t choose me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fielder is a constant presence in the documentary, a decision made on the fly, the filmmakers said.<\/p>\n<p>Close-up shots of him face-to-face with Holmes have ricocheted across social media and already become the stuff of meme gold.<\/p>\n<p>Oppenheim said as the process rolled out it began to feel like \u201cthe only way, maybe, to actually make this is also to have someone kind of confront, you know, their delusions on certain aspects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In early images released by A24 Holmes is shown maintaining intense, unnerving eye contact with Fielder, scenes that made even him \u201cuncomfortable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I also felt like I was \u2014 these moments were so odd, and I was the one, like, ruining them or, like, bailing on them,\u201d Fielder continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt a certain point, I was like, \u2018I\u2019m not going to stop.\u2019 If she\u2019s looking at me, I\u2019m just going to keep looking at her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The directors said living under the same roof as the documentary subjects created tensions and even saw Evans, who hasn\u2019t seen the film, try to exert control over production.<\/p>\n<p>But the filmmakers were never thrown out.<\/p>\n<p>Like her partner, Holmes also hasn\u2019t seen the finished product, Fielder and Oppenheim said. She remains in prison.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid; grid-template-columns: 728px 160px; gap:2px;
