Ego vs Confidence: Promoting Your Film Without Burning Bridges

How do you promote your film with confidence, without letting ego get in the way?

In this episode of Indie Film Podcast, we explore the fine line between ego and confidence in filmmaking, and how that line can quietly impact feedback, collaboration, networking, and long-term creative growth.

We talk about:

• The difference between ego, confidence, and imposter syndrome

• Why filmmakers sometimes ignore feedback without realizing it

• How to network at film festivals without feeling fake or transactional

• Promoting your film without burning bridges

• What humility looks like on professional film sets

• Why self-awareness matters more than talent alone

This is a reflective, honest conversation for indie filmmakers who want to improve their craft, work better with others, and build sustainable careers in film.

Indie Film Podcast focuses on the real mistakes, lessons, and behind-the-scenes realities of independent filmmaking, so you can learn from what went wrong, not just what went right.
