Nathan Fielder negoció con A24 una cláusula para cancelar el documental sobre Elizabeth Holmes

Ciudad de Mexico, 25 de octubre de 2026.- Nathan Fielder negoció un 'kill switch' con A24 antes de comenzar el rodaje del documental 'You Can See Everything', centrado en Elizabeth Holmes, según detalló el co-director Lance Oppenheim en una entrevista con IndieWire.

Oppenheim explicó que Fielder planteó la propuesta al estudio: "Nathan [said to A24], 'Well, do you think if Lance and I were to go and see if there was something there, would you be comfortable with giving us money and essentially just leaving us alone, and giving us a provision in our deal, whatever the money was, that we could just kill it at any time? If we didn't find something, we could just throw it all away, we could throw it in the garbage can'". Y agregó: "And they thankfully agreed."

Fielder, director del documental junto con Oppenheim, explicó a Wired Magazine por qué quería esa provisión en el contrato. "I told A24, 'I don't really know what the angle is, but there is something tickling in my brain'", relató. Sobre el contexto, señaló: "She was about to go to prison, so we didn't know what was gonna happen. I was like, 'If you guys want, I'm down to go down and start filming and see what emerges. But we need the ability to deliver nothing to you guys if it doesn't work out.' And they said 'Sure.'"

De acuerdo con la investigación, antes de que el documental comenzara producción, el escándalo de Holmes ya era tema de un podcast popular, un libro de gran venta, un documental de Alex Gibney y 'The Dropout', la serie guionizada de Hulu. Fielder preocupaba que "la historia había sido contada tantas veces ya".

Oppenheim dijo que la negociación del kill switch "cambió todo" y que la provisión les dio libertad con el proyecto. "This was the first time where I've ever been like, 'Oh, we actually have room to explore something without any pressure of anyone looking [over us]'", afirmó. "I wish I could have that for every project, because then it really feels like you're just operating purely out of curiosity. You can essentially fish."

Fielder seguía dudando sobre cómo se concretaría el documental con solo 34 días antes de que Holmes fuera a prisión. Sobre la cláusula, dijo que significó que no tenía que contenerse con Holmes o con ellos. "It really meant I didn't have to hold back with her or with them. Making a film, or any project, is very stressful. So if we had to pull the plug because it didn't work out, it would sort of be a relief to me. It's a very nice zone to operate in. Lance and I both thought, 'Well, at the very least, this will be an interesting week or two that we'll have as a story.'"
