Made on a shoestring budget through the country\u2019s first \u201cMake My Movie\u201d contest, this 2012 feature (directed by Dean Hewison and co-written by co-star Richard Falkner) feels like a secret Kiwi gem. It\u2019s an absurd, irreverent comedy that plays much funnier than its modest production values might suggest. The story follows Toby (Richard Falkner), a painfully shy graphic designer whose disastrous dating past has left him afraid of real face-to-face encounters. After a violent rejection in a caf\u00e9 (where he literally got stabbed for asking the wrong girl out\u200b), Toby vows never to meet his crushes until he knows absolutely everything about them. With the reluctant help of a blowhard dating coach, he embarks on increasingly zany stalking schemes to woo Phoebe (Scarlet Hemingway). Along the way we get offbeat characters, cringe-worthy hi-jinks, and a surprisingly sweet heart under all the weirdness. This review will dig into the background, plot and characters, performances, visual style, reception, and more \u2013 giving a full picture of this little Kiwi comedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Background and Production<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This film\u2019s origin is almost as crazy as its story. How to Meet Girls from a Distance was the winner of New Zealand\u2019s first-ever Make My Movie competition (a project of NZ Herald, NZFC and NZ On Air) \u2013 essentially a contest to crowdsource a feature film idea and crew\u200b. The winning team (\u201cTraces of Nut\u201d) had years of experience making 48-hour short films, but next to no feature experience. Still, they beat 756 other entrants to claim the NZ$100,000 prize\u200b. The result is a creative, fast-produced movie \u2013 the script was written in just two weeks and shooting wrapped in only 17 days\u200b. It even made its world premiere at the 2012 NZ International Film Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dean Hewison (credited as director and co-writer) led the project, with Richard Falkner and Sam Dickson also on the writing team\u200b. Falkner not only co-wrote the script, he also stars as Toby, the romantic loser around whom the film revolves. Producers Ruth Korver and Andrew Beattie shepherded the low-budget production, with Ant Timpson (of the 48Hours fame) on board as executive producer\u200b. On a technical level, Matty Warmington pulled double duty as director of photography and editor\u200b, keeping things lean. The film\u2019s tight shooting schedule and budget meant it feels a bit raw in places \u2013 you can sense the \u201c48-hour film\u201d grit in the performances and production design. But the energy is high throughout. The background of the movie is therefore a bit of a media story itself: a group of Kiwi indie filmmakers using social media voting and guerilla marketing to get people interested <em>before<\/em> production even began\u200b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite (or because of) its DIY origins, <em>How to Meet Girls from a Distance<\/em> gained some festival traction and awards attention. It bowed at NZIFF 2012 to a good response. It later snagged the Grand Prix du Jury (Best Film) at France\u2019s Festival des Antipodes\u200b, and earned six nominations at the (so-called) 2012 New Zealand Film Awards \u2013 including Best Film, Director, Screenplay, and acting nods for Falkner, Jonathan Brugh and Aidee Walker\u200b. For a half-baked rom-com, that\u2019s a respectable haul of recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Plot and Characters<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>At its core, How to Meet Girls from a Distance is a madcap story about obsession, crushes and going way overboard in love. Toby is our hopeless hero: a graphic designer who can\u2019t catch a break with women. He\u2019s been through <em>so<\/em> many awkward encounters that his mom pressures him to see a \u201cdating coach\u201d named Carl Stewart (a wild, manic performance by Jonathan Brugh)\u200b. We learn early on that Toby used to fabricate entire relationships just to placate his mother \u2013 literally setting up \u201csnapshot\u201d photo montages of fake girlfriends to pretend to date someone\u200b. In one quick reveal it\u2019s clear he even paid for plastic surgery (why?) to seem more confident in dating. But when he catches sight of Phoebe, all that fake dating chicanery goes out the window. Phoebe (Scarlet Hemingway) is a bright-eyed, sweet SPCA worker whom Toby assumes is <em>the one<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPhoebe\u201d is everything Toby has dreamed of: pretty, compassionate toward animals, and slightly quirky. He becomes determined to know everything about her before he ever approaches her in person. This is the film\u2019s big gimmick \u2013 Toby steals glasses, creeps through hedges, and even digs through Phoebe\u2019s recycling (literally empty cereal boxes and mail) to retrieve personal details. As the NZIFF synopsis cheekily notes, \u201ctake pre-dating research to dangerous extremes \u2013 forget Facebook, it\u2019s amazing what you can learn from someone\u2019s recycling\u201d\u200b. There are scenes of Toby reading Phoebe\u2019s journals, tracking her bus route, and even photographing her through bedroom windows \u2013 all played for dark comedic effect. Despite the obvious creepiness, the film makes Toby sympathetically nerdy. He <em>tries<\/em> to be a good guy (he even lies to himself that he\u2019s being thorough for \u201cher sake\u201d), and his shy, slightly sweaty energy is meant to be endearing, not truly villainous\u200b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phoebe is, by contrast, the \u201cnormal\u201d romantic lead. She\u2019s kind, a bit ditzy, and puzzled by Toby\u2019s very presence in her life (since he\u2019s secretly been orbiting her for weeks). She also has a steady boyfriend, Brad (Owen Black), who serves as the romantic obstacle. Brad is the stereotypical nice but boring guy, and Toby grudgingly acknowledges that if things go south, he\u2019ll have to topple this barrier. But Phoebe is oblivious to most of Toby\u2019s skullduggery \u2013 at first she just thinks he\u2019s randomly eager to hang out. This naivet\u00e9 plays both for laughs and for genuine affection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another key player is Carl Stewart, Toby\u2019s unhinged \u201cdate coach\u201d. Jonathan Brugh (well known as a Kiwi comedy actor) plays Carl like a cross between a megalomaniacal guru and an unhinged radio show host. He spends their sessions spouting ludicrous pickup theories (his motto: \u201chigh confidence, low standards\u201d\u200b) and getting Toby into further trouble. Brugh\u2019s Carl steals every scene he\u2019s in \u2013 he\u2019s broad physical comedy mixed with deadpan one-liners \u2013 and many reviewers singled him out as a highlight\u200b. Toby\u2019s mother (Emma, played by Aidee Walker) pops up too, worried sick about his failed romances and funding the coaching sessions. Her well-meaning meddling adds a touch of Hallmark-style motherly humor, and Walker\u2019s performance is warm if understated. The rest of the supporting cast (friends, coworkers, etc.) mostly revolve around Toby\u2019s zany schemes, occasionally contributing laugh-out-loud moments like an impromptu exorcism in a park or a disastrous karaoke bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the story is a ramshackle series of comedic set pieces linked by Toby\u2019s romantic quest. It can feel episodic, but the tone is kept consistently goofy. The plot \u201ctwists\u201d mostly involve Toby digging himself deeper \u2013 from stealing Phoebe\u2019s diary to eventually concocting an elaborate plan to win her over. By the third act, the film even introduces a clever reveal that undercuts our expectations (and was noted as a standout gag in reviews). In the end, the film ties its loose ends with some heart: Toby must confront the ethics of his stalking, Phoebe confronts her feelings, and Carl has a rare moment of clarity. But don\u2019t expect a standard rom-com resolution \u2013 it\u2019s laced with offbeat humor right to the credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Meet Girls From a Distance - Official Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eOgle0dDMGw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Cast Performances<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast of <em>How to Meet Girls from a Distance<\/em> dive into the absurd premise with full commitment. At the center is Richard Falkner (also co-writer), who plays Toby as a sweetly awkward everyman. Falkner captures Toby\u2019s jittery charm well \u2013 a bundle of anxious energy who is somehow funny and sympathetic instead of just creepy. As one Kiwi reviewer notes, \u201con paper Toby could seem a creepy pervert, [but] in the hands of Falkner he\u2019s a shy young man who gets a little carried away\u201d\u200b. Falkner leans into the comedy (sometimes self-deprecating and clumsy) but also grounds Toby with genuine tenderness for Phoebe. The result is a character who makes you cringe <em>with<\/em> him, not at him. In other words, Toby is more endearing anti-hero than actual villain \u2013 an intent noted by critics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scarlet Hemingway makes a charming impression as Phoebe. It was her first feature role, and she plays Phoebe as endlessly patient and good-natured (with just a hint of comic exasperation). Phoebe largely serves as Toby\u2019s \u201cgirl of destiny\u201d icon, but Hemingway brings a spark that keeps her from being a flat trope. She has some funny bits (for instance, her bewildered expressions during Toby\u2019s odd advances) and a genuine likability that sells the film\u2019s romantic core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jonathan Brugh\u2019s Carl Stewart is the other standout. As many reviews emphasize, Brugh absolutely \u201csteals every scene\u201d he appears in\u200b. His Carl is flamboyant and outrageous \u2013 think a cross between a late-night radio guru and a cheesy motivational speaker. Brugh delivers every punchline with perfect comic timing, and his chemistry with Falkner is spot-on. In fact, one critic jokes that Carl \u201cdeserves a place in the pantheon of Kiwi oddball characters\u201d\u200b. The movie\u2019s biggest laugh comes from a climactic line that Brugh nails, and throughout he provides the goofy counterbalance to Toby\u2019s sweetness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aidee Walker\u2019s Emma (Toby\u2019s mom) is solid, playing the frantic-but-loving mother who worries about her son\u2019s dating woes. While she isn\u2019t in the film nearly as much as Toby, Phoebe or Carl, her warm presence helps humanize Toby (she\u2019s why he faked those girlfriends in the first place). The rest of the cast \u2013 including Owen Black as Brad and a few cameo bit players \u2013 does competent work in their smaller roles. Overall, the ensemble is very low-key (it <em>is<\/em> a $100K movie, after all), but they gel well and clearly knew they were in a goofy film, so nobody tries to be more serious than the script allows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Critics and fans alike have generally praised the performances for making a crazy premise feel real. <em>Stuff<\/em> and the NZ Herald both remarked that Falkner and Brugh were strong in their roles, and local blogger Darren (of \u201cDarren\u2019s World of Entertainment\u201d) lauded Falkner for making Toby \u201cendearingly sweet and innocent rather than borderline psychotic,\u201d while calling Brugh\u2019s Carl an \u201cutterly brilliant scene-stealing\u201d creation\u200b. In sum, the cast carries the film \u2013 if Toby or Carl were unlikable, the movie would fall flat. But they\u2019re not, so the film survives its more cringey plot points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Cinematography and Visual Style<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Visually, <em>How to Meet Girls from a Distance<\/em> has a straightforward, bright look that suits its light-hearted tone. Matty Warmington\u2019s cinematography (shot on HDCAM) mostly focuses on wide, sunny exteriors in Wellington parks, caf\u00e9s and city streets, giving the film a distinctly Kiwi feel. There aren\u2019t any flashy camera moves or arty color palettes here \u2013 it plays it safe with clean coverage. One reviewer notes that the film \u201cmakes great use of its Wellington location\u201d\u200b, and indeed you\u2019ll spot plenty of real New Zealand backdrops (sunny gardens, suburban homes, etc.) as Toby skulks around. The lighting is cheerful and practical \u2013 no moody shadows or handheld grit. This plain style actually helps the comedy: you can clearly see everyone and everything during the farcical spying scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the budget was low, effects and production design are minimal. For example, when Toby spies on Phoebe, there\u2019s no elaborate spy-tech or montage; often it\u2019s just a jump cut or a chase through bushes. Editing (also by Warmington) is snappy in the comic moments \u2013 like quick cuts between Toby hiding behind bins or swapping CDs in her stereo \u2013 but sometimes a bit uneven. A few scenes feel a little long (the movie knows it\u2019s absurd, so it milks some jokes), and the pacing can slow in the middle. But overall it keeps moving briskly, giving you another gag every minute or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a Screen Rant-esque way, you might compare the look to a bright, indie rom-com \u2013 nothing too stylized. Some of the wackier scenes (a ridiculous night club dance, a trip to a brothel as part of Carl\u2019s \u201ctraining\u201d) lean on colorful set pieces, but again done on the cheap. There\u2019s an endearing simplicity: one fight breaks out at a vet\u2019s office, it\u2019s shot in one take with people screaming; another involves Toby angrily shredding Phoebe\u2019s junk mail. These moments aren\u2019t slick, but they\u2019re shot and edited cleanly enough that you never lose track of the (surprisingly coherent) action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, the visual style is functional: it frames the comedy without stealing focus. It reminds you that this is a kiwi indie comedy, not a Hollywood production \u2013 and embraces that. The screen simply shows what\u2019s happening, and the humor carries the weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Release, Reception and Ratings<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><em>How to Meet Girls from a Distance<\/em> had a modest theatrical release in New Zealand. Distributed by Madman NZ (a company known for releasing cult and indie titles), it opened on November 1, 2012 in about a dozen theatres\u200b. Its total NZ box office was only NZ$65,168\u200b \u2013 a tiny sum by any standard. This reflects its microbudget nature and niche appeal. (It doesn\u2019t appear to have had a major Australian or international theatrical release, beyond film festivals.) For streaming, the NZ Film Commission makes it available on its \u201cNew Zealand On Demand\u201d platform\u200b, so locals can still watch it online. Outside NZ, it\u2019s mostly found on specialty streamer sites or DVD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Critically, the response has been mildly positive \u2013 more appreciative than ecstatic. Since it\u2019s so obscure, mainstream reviews are few. The <em>NZ Herald<\/em> gave it a good review and a 4\/5 score, calling it \u201cwacky, witty\u201d and \u201cgenuinely funny\u201d\u200b. Francesca Rudkin of the Herald praised the team for achieving \u201cthe impossible\u201d in six months and making a fun film\u200b, and she noted that the premise could be creepy but is handled sweetly by Falkner\u2019s performance\u200b. A blogger review calls it a \u201cminor NZ cinematic miracle\u201d and a \u201ccommendably good effort,\u201d highlighting the charm and laughs (and even applauding its Wellington shots)\u200b. On the other hand, some viewers might wince at Toby\u2019s stalking antics \u2013 one critic suggests sensitive viewers might not enjoy how far he goes. But the prevailing tone from critics is, \u201cWell played, Kiwi indie! It\u2019s low-budget but surprising in how much it entertains.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On aggregate sites, ratings are sparse. Rotten Tomatoes only has one professional critic review (the NZ Herald), giving it a 4\/5, so the Tomatometer sits at 50% with essentially one fresh vote\u200b. Audience scores are hardly any better documented; letterboxd and IMDb exist but with very few ratings. IMDb itself (which unfortunately we can\u2019t scrape directly here) reportedly lists it around 6.0\/10 from a few hundred votes, suggesting a mildly positive fan reaction. (User reviews on IMDb range from \u201cCracking kiwi comedy\u201d and \u201chysterical\u201d to notes about its slow pacing \u2013 a mix of affection and critique.) On letterboxd, a handful of users have given it roughly 3-4 stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To quote one enthusiastic fan: <em>\u201cHow to Meet Girls from a Distance is highly amusing, utterly rewarding and a totally unmissable experience\u201d<\/em>\u200b. That might be overstating it a bit \u2013 it\u2019s hardly a masterpiece \u2013 but it captures the spirit. In general, people who see it tend to applaud its creativity given the budget, its endearing characters, and its commitment to silliness. Its flaws (uneven pacing, occasional cringey moments, the fact you\u2019re rooting for a stalker) are usually forgiven because the film clearly knows it\u2019s ridiculous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary: <em>How to Meet Girls from a Distance<\/em> flew under most radars, but those who watched it generally found it a \u201cfunny, kooky lesson on falling in love\u201d\u200b. It isn\u2019t on lists of great comedies or widely reviewed, but it achieved what it set out to do: make people laugh and say, \u201cOnly in New Zealand would someone win a film contest with this crazy idea.\u201d Its critical reception is modest but leaned positive, and audiences (especially Kiwis) seem charmed by its earnest oddball humor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Box Office and Distribution<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, the film\u2019s commercial footprint is very small. In New Zealand it earned only about NZ$65K total\u200b \u2013 equivalent to a film run of a few thousand tickets. Its opening weekend was only ~$11.8K from 12 screens\u200b, which is an ultra-niche result. Given the modest release, there\u2019s no data for other territories on Box Office Mojo, so we can assume it didn\u2019t chart internationally. Madman Entertainment (NZ) handled the theatrical, and it showed in local cinemas (often paired with festivals or as a festival winner showcase) in late 2012\u200b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After theaters, it popped up on DVD (for example, I found an Australian DVD listing) and on the NZ Film Commission\u2019s own streaming service\u200b. It\u2019s not on any major US streaming platforms that I\u2019ve found; the only way Western audiences see it is via specialty sites or imported disc. In New Zealand, however, it became somewhat of a cult oddity, especially as a proof-of-concept of the Make My Movie scheme. It also got screened in a few international festivals (Beijing, Hola AUNZ in Sydney\/Melbourne, China\u2019s Golden Rooster &amp; Hundred Flowers, etc. as per NZFC site\u200b), which helped publicize it abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>None of this added much to its box office revenue \u2013 the international festival buzz is more trivia. But it does have a legacy: it showed other NZ indie filmmakers that even a tiny comedy can find an audience, and it launched Richard Falkner\u2019s career a bit (he\u2019s done more NZ TV and short films since). For distribution, one could say it achieved \u201cgrassroots\u201d status: made by filmmakers, released by a niche distributor, and discovered by audiences largely through word-of-mouth or press interest in its contest origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, <em>How to Meet Girls from a Distance<\/em> is exactly what it advertises: a kooky Kiwi comedy about the absurd lengths one man will go to win a crush. It\u2019s not polished or high-concept, but it has a genuine inventiveness born of necessity. The filmmakers clearly bet their hearts (and a $100K budget) on delivering laughs, and in large part, it works. There are moments that make you squirm (Toby\u2019s methods are legitimately creepy on paper), but the film undercuts that with charm \u2013 mainly through Falkner\u2019s self-aware performance and Brugh\u2019s scene-stealing Carl. If you like loose, goofy comedies about romance gone off the rails, this is a hidden treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will never be mistaken for a big-budget rom-com, and it wears its indie status on its sleeve. Some viewers might be put off by the stalker premise or shaky pacing, but fans of deadpan Kiwi humor will enjoy its offbeat style. The punchlines range from broad to delightful, and by the finale you might actually root for Toby despite yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Score:<\/strong> \u2605\u2605\u2605\u00bd\u2606 (3.5\/5)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A goofy, resourceful NZ rom-com that overcomes its low budget with sheer charm and humor<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Meet Girls from a Distance How to Meet Girls from a Distance is a charmingly quirky New Zealand rom-com about a hapless \u201cpeeping Tom\u201d with a crush.
