Okay, you have a script, which is good. You also have willing friends. One more point. Now you need a camera.
I'd suggest doing what I did when I was fifteen(last year). Get out a video camera(any kind that'll take pictures and sound) and make a really inexpensive short(or feature if you want). Edit your flick by any means available to you, even if you're just going between two VCR's(Lynch started out that way). All of the people that are saying that you're too young don't seem to realize that if you just sit on your ass until you're 20, you still won't know anything about filmmaking. Start shooting, then keep shooting, then improve on your flaws more and more with each flick. Beyond that, I don't know.
Good Luck,
