Mike Timms
Mike plays the main character, a man at a turning point, ready for wherever events take him next.
Truly committed to the part Mike brought new layers to the story with his poignant attention to detail and near method style approach.
Mocici Loon
Mocici is a native Bolivian who was living on the streets of Paris at the time of shooting. He appears in Boomerang by chance when we met him on location and he agreed to be part of the film. Mocici passed his time in a church to stay warm during the winter days in Le Marais, Paris.
Sofia Nilsson
The charitable femme fatale that betrays all expectations.
Sophie’s performance elevates the film with a twist that delivers a killer final punch.
