Lance Oppenheim on Building Vulnerable, Un-Documentary-Like Scenes in "You Can See Everything"

According to a profile in New York Magazine, 30-year-old filmmaker Lance Oppenheim employs a documentary style that emphasizes shared vulnerability. He believes that by revealing his own feelings, the individuals he films are more inclined to open up in return. This technique has led to powerful scenes, such as subjects facing trials, experiencing romantic heartbreak, and losing jobs while being filmed. Oppenheim has also immersed himself in the intimate aspects of his subjects' lives, notably waiting in a rundown motel bathroom while two of them engaged in sexual activity next door. The profile highlights these experiences as contributing to the remarkable, unconventional nature of his work, including the film "You Can See Everything."
