Lance Oppenheim is an acclaimed director renowned for crafting documentaries that blend nonfiction storytelling with heightened, cinematic formalism. His films are layered with humanity, humor, and flourishes of the surreal.  Lance released two films in quick succession in 2026. First, his debut narrative feature film, Primetime, starring Robert Pattinson. The A24 film is inspired by To Catch A Predator host Chris Hansen in 2006, as he set out to make television history. His second film, the meta-documentary You Can See Everything, was co-directed with Nathan Fielder and shot over thirty-four days leading up to notorious Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes being sent to prison. What begins as an intimate portrait becomes a mind-bending three-year journey.  Inspired by the larger-than-life stories that unfolded around him in his native South Florida, Lance has been making films since he was in his teens. While in college, he became the youngest active contributor to The New York Times Op-Docs and received six Vimeo Staff Picks. He is a former Sundance Ignite Fellow, has been featured as one of Filmmaker Magazine’s “25 New Faces of Independent Film,” and was named one of Forbes’ “30 Under 30” in 2022.  Lance’s first documentary feature, Some Kind of Heaven, premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival and was released by Magnolia Pictures and Hulu in 2021 to critical acclaim. The film was produced by Darren Aronofsky and The New York Times, one of the paper’s first feature-length film productions. His documentary feature with FX/Hulu and The New York Times, Spermworld, is set in the new Wild West of baby-making – online forums where sperm donors connect with hopeful parents. His collaboration with HBO and Elara Pictures, Ren Faire, premiered at SXSW in 2024. A three-part series, it’s a fantastic succession tale of Shakespearean proportions that unfolds at the Texas Renaissance Festival. Lance has worked with brand clients including Google, EOS, Yahoo, Apple & Tribeca, VRBO, Blizzard, Cox, and Chinet.  Based in New York, Lance is represented by Biscuit Filmworks.
