School's okay and all but you can learn a lot from just youtube tutorials and google tutorials. You can start with a setup as simple as your cell phone + tripod and shooting outside during the day so you don't need special lights. Watch a few basic tutorials on getting good audio, that makes a big difference in quality. Seriously just google "How to make a short film" or something similar. Make a short video and post it on youtube, then monetize that video. Make enough Youtube videos and other creators will hit you up / listen to proposals to work together or you can use it as a portfolio for jobs.
