That's great! Motivation seems to be a little slow, and that's partly my fault; real life is kicking my butt and I'm having trouble getting the finer things put together. There's a thread that goes over the film itself, you should give it a read. I think next up is how to cast people, then finding locations.
If you and your friend want to take over thr filming portion, we already have
clonecam117 who can do the sound editing.
