Re: first short film, same old story: no budget =
Ask every business you can for favors in exchange for credit, for the worst thing that happens is they say no. Long, long ago I was making a film in college and needed a couple of automatic weapons, so I went to a gun store and told them on the up and up what I needed and wanted to do. The owner showed up on the shoot two days later with an Uzi and a Mac-10!
PS- "Meal and Copy" provided usually is all it takes. "Deferred pay" aka "no pay" is a no-brainer for most experienced actors.
