Nathan Fielder explores human perspective in new documentary project
Filmmaker Nathan Fielder discusses the limits of objectivity and his upcoming documentary You Can See Everything at a recent event.
Limits of objective observation
Fielder notes that all people wear tinted glasses when viewing the world. Documentarians and journalists struggle to separate what they see from prior knowledge. This personal perspective remains an inherent part of being human.
Methods for understanding behavior
The writer and filmmaker drives curiosity by pushing people to their limits in his work. His projects often stage intricate ruses to observe the uncanny behavior of regular people. These experiments elicit humor while revealing new possibilities about human interaction.
Previous commercial applications
Fielder previously feigned business expertise on a Comedy Central series to test marketing strategies. He also staged theatrical rehearsals on HBO to help people overcome personal challenges. Later he used those same resources to improve commercial pilot communication.
