Getting into the film business is often an extremely long, expensive and frustrating process. The jobs you're interested in - directing, producer, cinematographer, casting director & editor are all so wildly different that it's difficult to offer any specific advice.
You might want to give film school some consideration but it's expensive and certainly no guarantee of an easy way into the industry - I know a lot of film school graduates who never went on to do anything.
Alternatively, you could try to get a job as a runner on a film (or, more realistically for a TV company) and learn as much as you can when you're there. Be as helpful and enthusiastic as possible, ask lots of questions and maybe you'll find something to aim for.
Be warned though - the business is full of arseholes.
