For Nostalgia, DLP Aerials contributed cinematic aerial cinematography to a deeply personal and emotionally driven film centered on loss, memory, and the objects that connect us to those we’ve lost. Working with director Mark Pellington, the team used the DJI Inspire drone to capture a series of atmospheric establishing shots throughout the film, including the final closing sequence.

The project carried profound meaning for Pellington, shaped by the loss of his wife, which informed the tone and intention behind each frame. During production, Patton Oswalt—who had experienced a similar loss—visited set to share a moment of reflection with the director and cast. It was a rare and powerful experience, where the emotional weight of the story extended beyond the screen and into the making of the film itself.
