‘You Can See Everything’ Director Lance Oppenheim Says Billy Evans ‘Didn’t Care About Being Seen Naked’; Evans Asked, ‘Want to Film Me Showering?’

Variety ·

Lance Oppenheim said Billy Evans appeared comfortable being filmed naked for the documentary “You Can See Everything”, though the director said he could not explain Evans’ reasons. The shower scene drew attention because it includes a full-frontal shot, and Oppenheim described how Evans himself suggested filming while he showered.

Oppenheim said he offered to frame the scene to avoid showing Evans’ genitals, but Evans said he did not mind being seen naked. The documentary, co-directed with Nathan Fielder, follows Elizabeth Holmes shortly before she began an 11-year prison sentence for defrauding investors. It opened to $15.6 million from 855 cinemas, then earned a further $19.5 million after expanding to 2,655 venues.

In short

  • Billy Evans suggested filming him showering.
  • He said he did not mind appearing naked.
  • The documentary earned $35.1 million across its first two weekends.

Explained simply

Elizabeth Holmes founded Theranos, a blood-testing company that claimed it could run many tests using just a small amount of blood. The company attracted major investment, but its technology did not work as promised, and Holmes was convicted of defrauding investors.

Billy Evans is Holmes’ husband. The documentary “You Can See Everything”, co-directed by Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder, follows Holmes shortly before she began serving an 11-year prison sentence. Its account of the couple offers a view of their private life during a period shaped by the Theranos case.
