- Billy Evans asked filmmakers if they wanted to film him showering during a car ride from the gym, and when offered discretion, said he didn’t care about being seen naked
- Lance Oppenheim revealed that multiple cameras captured Evans post-shower, including one on Nathan Fielder and another outside the bathroom, noting Evans smiled at the camera afterward
- You Can See Everything grossed $15.6 million in its opening weekend from 855 theaters, marking the best start for a nonmusical documentary in 20 years
- A24 submitted the film across 10 Oscar categories including best picture and best director, not just best documentary feature
- Elizabeth Holmes appears in the film a month before beginning her 11-year prison sentence for defrauding investors, with Evans admitting he hasn’t seen the final cut
Why it matters: The film’s unprecedented box office performance and broad awards push elevate a documentary about a disgraced tech figure into mainstream cinematic territory, with Billy Evans’ unguarded participation becoming a defining and monetized element of its access-driven narrative. This shifts how personal exposure can fuel both spectacle and commercial success in documentary filmmaking.
