Fleishman recalled the event:
:I helped launch the first official full-length [Internet] movie premiere in 1995 in my offices in Seattle. The film was broadcast to several hundred people worldwide over a [[CU-SeeMe]] reflector at Point of Presence Company's offices in downtown and then [in] a few minutes, it was projected at The Egyptian in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. Parker Posey was in our offices to hit the start button on the broadcast. I was one cog in a larger set of wheels that involved the [[Seattle International Film Festival]], Film.com (now part of [[RealNetworks]]), First Look Releasing, and the film's producers, as well as another online development company and a [[CUSeeMe]] engineering consultant, Joseph Kahan who also worked at NASA down in Texas. The launch was shown on ''[[NBC Nightly News]]'' in a five-minute segment at the bottom of the Sunday broadcast that week.<ref>{{cite web |last=Fleishman |first=Glenn |url=https://glog.glennf.com/blog/2003/09/06/first_film_premiered_on_internet |title=First Film Premiered on Internet? |website=Glenn Fleishman Writes Words About Things |date=September 6, 2003 |access-date=November 11, 2018}}</ref>
