Why I Stopped Comparing Myself to Other Filmmakers | Breaking Free from Creative Pressure

As filmmakers, we're bombarded with everyone else's work, styles, and success stories. It's easy to lose sight of what makes our own perspective unique. I've been there, trying to mimic what I thought was "good" instead of trusting my own instincts.

In this video, I'm getting real about my struggle to break free from the pressure of fitting in. I'll share how I learned to tune out the noise and start listening to my own creative voice - and why that changed everything for me.

This isn't about ignoring other filmmakers or shutting yourself off from inspiration. It's about finding the courage to tell your stories, your way. Because let's face it - the world doesn't need another carbon copy. It needs your unique vision.

If you've ever felt lost in the crowd or unsure about your creative direction, this one's for you. Let's talk about embracing what makes you, well, you.
