Episode 11 tackles one of the most common problems the guys see in mentorships: confidence vs self-doubt — and how easy it is to get trapped on either extreme.

Kyle and Camryn break down why newer filmmakers feel overwhelmed right now: more styles, more “rules,” more opinions, and a constant stream of comparison that makes people second-guess work that’s objectively solid.

They talk through the difference between technical confidence (settings, exposure, editing, lighting) and identity confidence (knowing what you’re delivering and why you believe in it). They also call out a hard truth: the market is always talking, and 2024 proved it — sometimes the smartest move isn’t “hold firm no matter what,” it’s staying in the game, staying booked, and staying humble without tying your worth to a single number.

The core takeaway is simple: filmmakers don’t need to invent a brand-new style to deserve their pricing. They need to find what feels self-fulfilling, shape it into something consistent, and let the right clients resonate with it. Confidence gets built when the work feels like them — and when they stop letting every outside voice rewrite what they already know is good.
