You should call yourself whatever based on the situation.
If you are hanging out with a group of consultants, you call yourself consultant; if you are a special effects programmer, and talking to a model, you say you're in the movie business; if you are interviewing with the author, you call yourself programmer.
The best way to connect with others is to understand how they perceive things and find ways to relate to them, not enforcing your own world view onto them.
