Mike Timms

Mike plays the main character, a man at a turning point.

Committed to the part Mike brought new layers to the story with his 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. Mocici was passing his time in a church to stay warm during the winter days in Le Marais, Paris and agreed to take part in the film.

Sofia Nilsson

Sofia plays the charitable femme fatale that betrays expectations. 

Sophie’s  performance elevates the film with a twist that delivers a killer final punch.
