Flemming caused considerable media controversy, not for the last time, with his second feature film, a faux documentary about the assassination of Bill Gates called Nothing So Strange. Even before its debut, media outlets such as Fox News and the Drudge Report condemned the film as outrageous for its premise. Bill Gates said through a spokesman that he was “very disappointed that a movie maker would do something like this”. Nothing So Strange debuted at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival to nearly universal critical acclaim. Variety called it, "a crackling good movie... may be the ideal prototype film for the digital age". The film won the Claiborne Pell New York Times Award for Original Vision at the 2002 Newport Film Festival and received international media exposure throughout its long film-festival run.
On 23 October 2003 the film had a simultaneous debut in theaters and as an Internet download. It was released on DVD in 2004.
