Hello,
Immerse yourself in the world of the stage and observe directors in action. Help out in high school and local theater productions as an assistant director, stage manager, assistant stage manager, or stage crew.
Take drama and theater classes at your high school. If these classes are not offered, look into taking acting classes at a community center.
Build excellent analytical skills in English. Interpreting the script is a central directing task.
Act, dance, and sing in high school productions.
Perform with local community theater groups.
Attend acting camp or summer workshops for aspiring directors.
It´s still necessary to be creative as well presents knowledgeable technicians. Active onstage and behind the scenes, interpret scripts, communicate your vision to set and costume designers, audition and select cast members, manage rehearsals, and coach actors.

Most importantly, get on sets or office as a Production Assistant. You will learn from the bottom up . Write short scripts, Learn how to storyboard a scenes to know what shots you need and make your films with phones or inexpensive camera. Read scripts and do breakdowns on cast, locations, page count.

The best way to learn is by doing and finding areas relevant to what you want to do. If you think about a filmmaker you not only need to focus on the creative process, but also think about the other areas that make a film possible: art design, sound, editing, grips, camera, etc. Knowing the technical side and learning about different roles will give you a better idea on what it takes to make a film and the different roles involved. If there are courses related to editing, motion graphics or/and visual effects, editing, sound design, or production in the field take those clases.
Also, if there's classes about film - - history of film or film from different countries that will help find your voice and tone and see different perspectives. What helped me was to take several literature classes, philosophy an also humanities, and creative writing classes -- I did this since my college didn't have a lot of technical clases and these classes helped me focuses on my skill and practice on my English.
All of the above, will be key for becoming a Producer, since they manage the whole core and different areas of a film or series and need to understand not only creative and processes, but timelines and money. For either role, try checking out local posting for PA (Production Assistant) this way you can start by actually doing .
