Starting as a PA is the most common way, and you'll get paid (as opposed to an internship which may be unpaid). Look into the DGA's training programs, working in the AD department gets you on set and being a part of making things happen.

As early as possible try to go to film classes along with any video production classes. As you start out you'll have to be doing many of the jobs a normal film production would have, by yourself. That includes learning how to shoot, how to edit, sound editing, lightning, writing etc. Heck you may even have to star in your own film. This all adds to your resume. Having content that people can look at to see your work.
School is a great way to meet people and network to fulfill various needs. Whether it be at community college or a university, you'll be able to meet students, or professors, who can aid you in your work. They can help you make the film, you may meet great cinematographers, people who know how to act, people who are good at editing etc. Professors may even have connections in the film industry.
