The New York City Drone Film Festival has been around for the past five years, showcasing some of the best drone videos from around the world.

With both of these forces coming together, will this create the most impactful drone film festival yet?

A large number of people braved the cold weather and made it out to the FAA’s headquarters with signs saying: “If we build it, let it fly.”
