NOMINATED FOR BEST FEATURE DOCUMENTARY IN INTERNATIONAL MOTOR FILM AWARDS & EUROCINE GALA.

The Drift Queen is a high-octane documentary feature following Sandra Janušauskaitė — a fierce and resilient woman carving her path in the male-dominated world of professional drifting. Filmed across Europe — from Spain, Latvia, and Lithuania to Hungary, Germany, Estonia, Greece, and Cyprus — the film captures the sport’s intense physical and technical demands, along with the emotional and psychological toll it takes. Through Sandra’s eyes, we witness the grit behind the glamour: the podiums, the breakdowns, the comebacks, and the relentless pursuit of speed. It’s more than a racing story — it’s a raw, cinematic journey into passion, identity, and what it takes to lead in a world that rarely hands over the keys.
