BOOMERANG

Directed by Matthew Frost

Cast: Mackenzie Davis, Rebecca Dayan, Paige Elkington, Melanie Papalia, Colton Furry, Melissa Vogel, Jack Eyman, Richard Riehle

Our heroine is JEN, a regular girl-next-door who tries to quit Instagram but wakes up the next day to discover that the Insta- personalities she has been following have materialized in her apartment – and they don’t want her to quit. They are: FRENCH GIRL – the epitome of “je ne sais quoi” – she’s sexier and cooler than you, even though she never makes an effort, of course. SUZYROSE, a bubbly, popular party girl who’s always in the right places and who brands just love to dress. SAM, a hot hipster known for his tattoos, washboard abs and soulful eyes that betray his earnest, caring side. Finally, WORKOUT GIRL, who has built a huge following and business inspired by her shapely posterior.
