The script written by Raluca Mănescu follows 16-year-old Larisa, who is in love with the most beautiful boy in high school and hopes to succeed in the unfriendly environment of a small town where money and corruption make the rules. "It’s a crazy adventure," says Giurgiu, "even kamikaze I might say, to shoot a difficult story using non-professional actors for the main parts and a small team with zero experience in feature whatsoever."
The actors are mainly young people selected on Facebook during the first half of 2013. Ana Maria Guran, Ana Vatamanu, Oana Rusu and Iulia Ciochină play main characters. Daniel Kosuth is DoP. Shooting started in mid-July and will wrap in two weeks, employing locations in Constanţa and Bucharest. The budget is 400,000 EUR, sourced exclusively from private parties.
BLU, the first short film Tănase made after studies at the National University of Theatre and Film I.L. Caragiale, won honors at the Transylvania IFF and Cortex IFF and received two nominations at the national Gopo awards. Tănase was also named best newcomer at Gopo. The World Is Mine/Lumea e a mea will be distributed in Romania by Transilvania Film .
