CNN.com:

The writer of Oscar-nominated movie "The Full Monty" is premiering his latest film on the Internet, in a world first.

Simon Beaufoy's latest film "This is not a love song" is being streamed online as it debuts simultaneously in a handful of cinemas.

The release of the new low-cost movie, which was made for under $800,000 and shot in less than two weeks, will be closely watched by filmmakers who find it difficult to find distribution deals for their productions.
