Nathan Fielder had a 'kill switch' to bin You Can See Everything if it wasn't working
By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
Co-director Lance Oppenheim says Nathan Fielder was so unsure there was anything new to say about Elizabeth Holmes that he asked A24 for the money plus the right to throw the whole film in the bin at any point. A24 agreed, and Oppenheim says that freedom 'changed everything' when they had just 34 days with Holmes before she went to prison. Now it's one of the buzziest films of the year.
Would you give a director the money and the right to bin the lot?
