Amateur Filmmaking

Was wondering if any of you are involved in some sort of amateur filmmaking? I have been wanting to get involved for a few years and now the time is right.

I don't have the slightest clue about it and was wondering if any of you had some sites or experience that perhaps they could share.

I would like to learn first and eventually make some humor shorts to show in my area. Not looking to be the next "IT" director. Just looking to branch off into some other hobbies. Ok thanks for your time.
