## Key points

- Fielder negotiated the right to abandon the documentary.
- A24 agreed the filmmakers could deliver nothing if it did not work.
- The deal gave them freedom to explore Holmes’ story.

## Summary

Nathan Fielder secured a contractual “kill switch” from A24 before filming *You Can See Everything*, the Elizabeth Holmes documentary he co-directed with Lance Oppenheim. The deal meant the filmmakers could abandon the project and deliver nothing if their initial filming failed to reveal a fresh story.

Fielder was wary because Holmes’ scandal had already been covered in a podcast, a book, a documentary and a scripted series. Oppenheim said the provision gave them room to explore freely, even with only 34 days until Holmes was due to enter prison; Fielder said it also meant he did not have to hold back with Holmes or the financiers.
