do we know if the los angeles convention which showed the movie is the same convention as this one: en-gb.facebook.com/comicbookscifi/? if so we could try to contact them and see if they know anything about how to access the movie.

Might be worth a shot but the big question would be if any of the organizers or anybody running the page was around in 2005 that might remember anything.
I messaged Marvel editor Tom Brevroort if he knew anything about it a long time ago (he tends to have a lot of knowledge on company history) and while he personally hadn't seen it he had a friend who saw it at a show once (maybe the 2005 screening?) and his friend said it was cheesy. I like cheesy so that's cool.
I've seen some random YouTube comments over the last year from various videos on the topic where some people saying they're family members of some cast members on the project, sometimes random comments like that can be hard to swallow but those seemed to be legit as it was a few people replying to each other and their accounts looked pretty normal. Some of them said they saw it decades ago on a projector as kids and wish they could see it again, others said they couldn't figure out what happened to the personal copy the family had. I saw one claiming to have seen the movie listed on an Italian bootleg website in the early 2000s and wishing they had bought it when they seen that just to see it again.
I found some weird stuff on bootleg sites even just a decade ago that would have been lost otherwise. The 1990 Dan Poole Spider-Man fan film The Quick and The Dead was found on a bootleg site and the director had no idea how any copies of the thing could have even been circulating so it could be a possibility there was some bootlegs out there at some point but there's no concrete evidence of any either. Kinda wish bootleg sites like those were still out there lol, maybe there are but I just don't know how to find them.

Yeah, it makes the whole thing more difficult. There's not many people involved we're even aware of and a lot of others are getting up there in age or have passed already. The director seemed to have mixed feelings on the project for many years until the first Spider-Man movie came out it sounded like he made peace with it and found new appreciation for what he did decades before the rest of Hollywood caught on. It's pointless to speculate since he's passed but I could never figure out why he didn't want the thing preserved for wider audiences to find, maybe he just didn't want to step on anybody's toes being in the business.
I saw someone earlier in the year on the Discord claimed to be in contact with the guy who played Spider-Man but I guess nothing was really shared about if they talked about anything interesting.
