You may want to do what I have done and create a pseudonym (or several). I do creative works using five different pseudonyms, actually. With how technology has become, it's easier because you can have something as simple as whatever specific email address name attached to a cashapp like pay pal or something. So many entertainment professionals use "stage names" since forever, and so none of the big companies out there care what name you choose for the public. You basically never have to give your real name, save for the formal contracts you have to sign for whichever company hiring you - tax purposes, etc. If you really don't want to do any personally directed promotion, you could always do cross-promotion. I actually do better and feel better by promoting and talking about all of my influences and their works instead of struggling to talk about myself and whatever project. I feel like any attention gained is more on merit, as well. I just feel way better about it. Projects and work for other companies thankfully have their own marketing team to try and sell whatever.
Film distribution is the toughest nut to crack of all in the entertainment industry. The gatekeeping allowed is because controlling the bandwidths and such for streaming or even getting into a theatrical showing is so very costly, plus it's harder to host or screen due to the huge file sizes of a film. Music, comics, book publishing and the like are mega easy to release on your own and at little-to-no-costs. Again, though, the marketing and promotion of them will be the hassle, unless you can pay someone to do that for you.
I learned all of these things first hand, too. I didn't enjoy a single minute of that education, haha.
