Futile Attraction is a 2004 New Zealand film directed by Mark Prebble. It is an anti-romantic comedy filmed in mockumentary style. The movie attracted media attention for the fact that it was the first New Zealand feature film, and one of the first films internationally, to be crowd-funded through internet donations.
