How do I start a movie production?

You're going to need a script. If it's your first time, I'd suggest trying a short. \n\nNext, you're going to need money. If you don't have money of your own, you're going to have to ask parents, aunts, uncles, your pediatrician, your dentist, whomever to help you out. The amount of money you need will depend on many things, but one of the big choices you will have to make is what you will be shooting on. Film is expensive. DV is much cheaper.\n\nNow you'll need to find someone to help you with the production. They will want a credit along the lines of "Producer" or "Production Manager." It will be their responsibility to help you acquiring a cast and crew. One of the first people you will need is a Locations Manager. They will find all the locations that you will be shooting in, get the proper permits and permissions. You will also need a Camera crew (hopefully with their own equipment), a grip or two or three(hopefully with their own equipment), and an electrician or two (hopefully with their own equipment). These people will need to scout your locations and decide what they need.\n\nWhile all this is going on, you can start to cast your movie. Actors and actresses will generally line up for this kind of opportunity. Find people that you like and who have flexible schedules.\n\nThis is a very bare bones look at what you will need to do. I'd reccommend going to a bookstore and finding some books that have more detailed advice. \n\nBased on your question, I'd guess that you don't have a lot of experience. That's fine. That's actually great. I'd suggest getting (along with your production guide), "Nuts and Bolts Filmmaking" by Dan Rahmel.\n\nThis is a big chunk to bite off, but if you've got the heart, you can pull it off.\n\nGood luck.

You can easily get a job as a Movie-Extra, but you have to be available on location.  Usually the film crew staff picks locals, wherever they happen to be filming.  From there you can get inside tips on how to break into the business.

The best and easiest program to make a simple movie trailer would be Pro Tools it's super simple. I used this program in my first year at film school and made a really cool music video. The tool to edit your film are very easy to use although you may need to read the instructions, but once you know whats what your on your way to making an excellent movie trailer!

You had better start taping who your doing and sending it in as an audition. Of course you will have to do the director and some of his friends too.

You're gonna have to get an adult to help out.  It could begin with your parents taking you to a talent agency.  They'll see you for free and you'll pick up free advice even if they don't take you on as a client.  You may have to visit a bunch of agencies before they take you on.\nOnce you're a client of a talent agency, they should begin the process of looking for parts for you.\nMeanwhile, peruse Variety to see what movies are shooting crowd scenes where you live.  Go start that way.  (see, you'll need an adult for transportation).\nOr look into your local community theatre.  When large productions come to town, they like to call the local community theatres to get actors for the smaller parts.

Equipment is REALLY REALLY EXPENSIVE.  The essentials are probably a good digital video camera and editing software for your computer.  Really no need to do actual film anymore, since you can shoot it on DV and fix it in the computer to make it look like anything you want.  Outside of that, you'd need lighting and sound equipment, but you might want to look into renting that.  Don't forget pizza for your actors...

Good.  Passion is the first ingredient.  Writing scripts (and getting them sold) is a tough, tough job.  Thinking of plots is the easy part.  To actually get 90-120 pages of plot, characters and dialogue is alot more work that it might appear.\n\nGo to a bookstore.  Under writing, you'll find plenty of books that will help you get started.  \n\nFigure out what type of genre you're interested in.  A comedy is written for laughs; a supernatural thriller needs jumps.  A thriller is formed with tight pacing.  \n\nAll scripts require careful use of dialogue and action.  A book has room for flowery descriptions and flowing text.  In a script, every word counts.  In a script it's not the "Bob was aging poorly, ruddy with wisps of thin hair barely covering his shiny head, a bloated waist, rumpled plaid shirt and buttons missing" but rather "BOB, 42, bald, bloated as a blowfish." \n\nFind some of your favorite scripts on-line.  Read them for structure.  No matter the genre, successful scripts follow a formula.  They're original but not too far off the path.  (That will get you an art film that no one watches.)  Try a site like simplyscripts.com or script-o-rama.com. \n\nUCLA on-line has many classes.  If you're the type of person who needs a coach, they'll help.  If your self-directed, you can teach yourself... if you have talent.\n\nConsider getting a writing partner.  Although it's a relationship that will require compromise, a partner who balances your strengths and weaknesses (maybe one is good with dialogue/the other with plots) will take you a long way.\n\nLearn to network.  Succeeding as a screen writer is a political game that requires much more than raw talent.  Hollywood is based on quid-pro-quo trades.  You'll need friends whereever you can find them.\n\nIf you can afford to get an entry level job, they're out there to be found.  They don't pay much.  Start somewhere like variety.com and branch out your search from there.  You're a finance professional... you might be able to make a lateral move into an industry related office.  From that vantage you can start your venture.\n\nYour first script will probably not be nearly as good as you think it is.  Get feedback from credible readers.  (Don't give a romance script to a mystery person.  You'll get feedback that's really not that helpful.)  Be prepared for people to say you suck.  Be prepared to rewrite every single word you wrote.\n\nDon't, don't quit a day job.  Succeeding will take longer than you ever imagine and writing to eat is a desperate feeling that rarely results in success.

Just do it!! Movies don't require talking!!\n\nJust say "hey, I am having a birthday party at my house and if you would love to come...it would be cool!!" Say you are taking movie suggestions and ask the types of movies they like. Integrate everyone's ideas and pick a freaking awesome movie line up for everyone to watch.\n\nIt will be fun. Have popcorn. Have a popcorn fight. It will be fun.

Do it at home, project the film and record it with a digital camcorder, then burn it using your computer. Otherwise you are looking at expensive equipment so you may want to contact a photo or video shop.
