In “Drone Pilot Has a Crisis Of Conscience”, writer/director David Ehrenreich finds magic in the minutiae of drone racing. The short film is delightfully quirky and a perfect example of his ability to find beauty in the mundane.
Ehrenreich explains, “My friend Elan told me that she wanted to be a Drone Pilot and asked if I had any tips. Because I’m not a Drone Pilot either, I started wondering if Drone Racing would be a fulfilling hobby for her and what a Drone race might actually look like. I enjoyed the fantasy of a regional race circuit, rich with quotidian drama, where the who’s who of the outliers could band together over their shared love of speed and the FPV experience.”
