- A24 documentary "You Can See Everything," directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, is now in theaters after premiering at the Telluride Film Festival; it was made ahead of Elizabeth Holmes' 11-year prison sentence for Theranos fraud.
- Amanda Seyfried and Christopher Abbott re-enact private conversations Fielder had with Holmes and Evans, with Seyfried returning to the role after winning an Emmy for Hulu's "The Dropout"; Fielder lived with the couple 24/7 for filming access.
- Billy Evans is depicted as controlling — taking over egg-whisking duties, interrupting Holmes' father's interview about her past — and later has her body scanned to create a lifelike AI version of her on a screen in his new home.
- Evans is revealed to have been posting from Holmes' verified X account and claims power of attorney over her, and asked A24 for payment for their participation in the doc, a request he later withdrew.
- Holmes claims she has never told a lie in her life despite her fraud conviction, and becomes emotional when shown the "Who's on First?" routine to illustrate her ambiguous language about Theranos technology while Evans defends her "beautiful view on the world."
Why it matters: The film shows Billy Evans posting from Elizabeth Holmes' verified X account and claiming power of attorney over her, complicating portrayals of the Theranos founder as she begins an 11-year prison sentence.
