The film was expected to open in 2014, when Giurgiu told FNE that “it would be the biggest surprise of the year.” An independent production by Libra Film and Radu Stancu's deFilm, The World Is Mine 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 makes the rules.
The script was written by Raluca Mănescu and films uses “non-professional actors for the main parts and a small team with zero experience in feature whatsoever,” Giurgiu told FNE. The actors were for the most part selected on Facebook. Ana Maria Guran, Ana Vatamanu, Oana Rusu and Iulia Ciochină play the main characters. Daniel Kosuth is DoP. The film was shot in 2013 with a budget of 150,000 EUR, sourced exclusively from private parties.
