Key information
Nathan Fielder is co-directing a three-hour documentary titled You Can See Everything, which focuses on Silicon Valley fraudster Elizabeth Holmes. Fielder, a cult-favorite television auteur, collaborated with Lance Oppenheim on the project, which follows rumors of Fielder visiting Holmes in prison last year.
Fielder is known for his career of heightened unreality and corporate chicanery, notably in his series Nathan for You. While Holmes is a Stanford University dropout, Fielder graduated from one of Canada's top business schools, a detail he frequently references in his work.
Andrew Bricker, an associate professor at the University of Ghent, notes that Fielder consistently portrays an altered version of himself. Bricker argues that Fielder makes the distinction between his persona and his actual self so ambiguous that audiences are often left unsure of his true intentions.
Bricker further describes Fielder’s creative approach as that of an outlandish problem-solver. In series like The Rehearsal, Fielder utilizes an engineer’s brain to view the world through simplified frameworks, where his proposed solutions frequently create new, complex problems.
