Obsession director Curry Barker has pitched a collaboration to Nathan Fielder after praising the three‑hour documentary‑style film You Can See Everything. ## What Happened Curry Barker said the film was “freakin’ insane and awesome” at the Time100 Next Gala held at Pier59 Studios. He admitted he knew little about Elizabeth Holmes before watching, felt he missed tiny details, and wished the three‑hour run time were longer. He told Variety he has already floated the idea to Fielder, saying he “just put it out in the water.” ## Reaction Barker called the film fresh and different, noting it blurs the line between narrative and documentary. He said it made the industry rethink what draws Gen Z to theatres. At the same gala he described being stunned by the crowd of social‑media stars and recounted a starstruck moment when he saw Emma Watson, a childhood Harry Potter hero, and “froze.” He also mentioned the excitement of attending the Academy Gala and seeing familiar faces everywhere. ## What’s Next Barker’s next film, Anything But Ghosts, is slated for release on May 7 2027. Seth Rogen, who wrote Barker’s Time100 Next profile, praised the upcoming movie as even stronger than Obsession and complimented Barker’s acting as well as his directing. ## Context Hybrid documentary‑drama projects like You Can See Everything are gaining attention for their appeal to younger audiences, prompting filmmakers to explore new storytelling mixes that blend factual content with cinematic flair.
