Synopsis : Frustrated by traditional funding methods, 27 year-old New Zealand filmmaker Mark Prebble is harnessing the power of the internet to finish making his first feature film – Futile Attraction. Futile Attraction is a comic mockumentary, by 27 year-old New Zealand filmmaker Mark Prebble, about a film crew making a Reality TV Show. The story follows a couple brought together by a dating agency. However, the couple is so mismatched that the crew has to manipulate the relationship to get the footage they need. It stars Malaysian, Michelle Ang (Neighbours, Xena, The Tribe), Alistair Browning (Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, Vertical Limit, Rain, Sullivans) and a host of up and coming New Zealand talent. Says Ang: "The low budget filming of Futile Attraction was a completely new experience for me. It felt great working with a cast and crew who were all there because of their love for film and supporting one another with their endeavours. We had a lot of fun... especially since many of us had worked together before. The script and idea are a real credit to both Mark and Ben. Their brand of humour is quite original. It gave me a chance to deal with comedy for the first time, which was a bit daunting".
