Where to go from system administrators?

I will try to briefly describe my situation, maybe someone has already encountered a similar one, and then it will be useful not only for me to find some kind of answer to the question.
Three years ago I graduated from the institute in the direction of aviation logistics, but it so happened that I did my undergraduate practice in an organization where my brother, who at that time was the head of the IT department, called me. Circumstances developed in such a way that I had to stay there, but I didn’t particularly complain, after all, it’s not so easy for a student to get a first job. In general, I wrote a diploma and slowly learned to be a system administrator. To be honest, I was never attracted to the topic of IT and my brother understood this, so I was more involved in helping employees with document management, installing software and doing purchases in my department, i.e. was a kind of IT manager.
And now 3 years have passed, I work as a sysadmin in another place and I still don’t like working in this area, but I’m interested in some things related to communication, purchases, and maybe even some financial issues. I also like to work in Photoshop, premiere and after effect, and sometimes there are tasks where you need to use these skills, at such moments I feel in the right direction, but as soon as it comes to servers, domains, group policies, virtualization, networks and so on, I begin to have a tough apathy for everything that happens.
I'm thinking of trying my hand at project management, what do you say, experts, where can I send such a mediocrity?

I was called here as an expert to answer you, but I don’t know what to answer, it’s impossible to give an unambiguous answer to the question.
You are great for getting out of this area. That's all.

somewhere where you will be instilled with psychological independence.
Do you seriously need someone to give you the go-ahead to "try your hand at project management"?
If you want, get up and try.
If you have different fears, insecurity, inability to change something, which do not allow you to get up and try, then this is for a psychotherapist.
If you are not allowed to get up and try obligations, a mortgage, a wife, three children and a dog, then create a financial cushion and try new things "in your spare time."

Are there any examples of your PROFESSIONAL work in Photoshop, premiere, after effect?
There is a suspicion that you like it only because there are no work tasks, customer requirements and you do it in a free manner. And how they strain to rivet a simple effect of breaking an asteroid, with painstaking expansion of each piece, you will cry and want to set up the asset directory back, where everything is simple, understandable and automated.
If you are so sure that you can sell well - why don't you sell and EARN from it?
I'm working in IT. But for some reason I am sure that I am extremely drawn to the sphere of films, filming, I especially like blockbusters. I would be ready to train like Keanu Reeves and then do The Matrix. But something is not called ...
