It's a shame that Stardust Memories had such a critical panning as it's a superb film, light-years ahead of its time. The scene in which Sandy remembers Dorrie's breakdown is an astonishing piece of cinema:

I think it would be quicker and easier to knock a new window through the wall...

Scriptnotes with John August and Craig Mazin - mainly about writing, but they do touch on the filmmaking process from a writer's perspective.
Brett Easton Ellis Podcast - half of these are with filmmakers, from Alex Ross Perry to Joe Swanberg to Sean Baker. BEE has a tendency to waffle on about his own sometimes esoteric social concerns, but he's also very film-savvy and the interviews are very informative and devoid of BS.
DP30 (YouTube) - not a podcast but you can convert them easily enough. There are literally hundreds of these, all fantastic.

As per Jonathan Mayer, Austin's On Story is worth checking out too.

May I humbly plug my first short: http://vimeo.com/62477862

Made with 550d, no sound recorder, kit lens. I may have used the nifty-fifty as well, can't remember. A stills tripod held together with gaffer tape. An actor who is actually a poet (and friend) who was prepared to stand around and be filmed for a day. Locations within walking distance of my front door.

I'm not saying it's Citizen Kane or anything, but it turned out okay. And I think a lot of that was because of the limitations. You can always find someone to act in a film. Approach local acting groups, theatre groups, colleges that have performing arts degrees. So long as you're honest about your resources and ambitions people will often help just for sh*ts and giggles.

I agree with Guy that you should have a solid idea and make it worth the effort of shooting; but at the same time don't use this as an excuse to just do nothing for months/years.

Good luck!

On the podcast front, I'd highly recommend Scriptnotes. Hosted by John August (Big Fish, Frankenweenie) and Craig Mazin (Hangover 2&3, Identity Thief), they discuss big picture issues like structure and character, along with more minute crafty details on how to pace a scene, work on dialogue etc.

You can download recent episodes from johnaugust.com. I think they're planning on selling USB drives with all 200 episodes on in the next month or so, so if you're new to the show that's worth considering.
