CANNES, FRANCE – 26 May 2025 – Actress Nell Pietrzyk made waves at the Cannes Film Festival with a show-stopping appearance in an oversized gown boldly emblazoned with the words “Disaster Girl.” More than just a fashion statement, the look served as a striking preview of her upcoming mockumentary, already generating international buzz.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Fabia Mendoza, Disaster Girl is a fearless feminist satire that follows the chaotic, funny, and brutally honest story of a 42-year-old woman who decides to completely transform her life after a fortune teller predicts failure in love, family, and career. Pietrzyk stars as this woman — her alter ego, “Disaster Girl” — representing unapologetic reinvention and resilience.
Nell Pietrzyk attended Cannes alongside Alexander Loch for the official premiere of EDDINGTON. As special guests, the duo also used the occasion to introduce their upcoming 2026 film project, Disaster Girl, which is being produced by Loch.
