I may be way wrong, but I think this the first piece of original content that Netflix produced.

I randomly stumbled across this the first time on Netflix around 12 years ago. It's the only place I've ever seen it.

Pretty sure this was a local students film while working on his masters.

The director of this film has an impressive CV, he later directed music videos for tons of famous musicians like U2, Metallica, Bon Jovi, Tom Waits, Sting, Lou Reed, R.E.M., Peter Gabriel, Motley Crue, Marilyn Manson, etc.

It's hard to believe, but Netflix actually started in '97. I had already been a customer for years when this came out. Just one year later in 2007, they launched their streaming service in a limited capacity.
