I'll third (or fourth?) the sentiment, it's not going to come out great. There are just too many things you don't know; no matter how much reading you do, no matter how many questions you ask on every filmmaker forum out there, you have no idea of what you are getting yourself into until you spend your first day on the set (and then the editing room).
There are a number of great threads here and on other forums about getting started, they'll give you some idea of what you need to do - preproduction, equipment, paperwork, cast and crew, etc.
I'll say it for the 10,000th time; capture great production sound. Solid sound will cover up a multitude of other technical faults. A film starts with a script which is the aural interaction between the characters. Too many beginning filmmakers forget that when they get the camera in their hands, it becomes all about the shot. Then they get into post, realize the sound is horrible, then call on someone like me; and about the best I can do is take it from terrible to barely passable - unless you want to spend a huge amount of money on audio post that you probably don't have.
Check out my blogs here on IndieTalk for a primer on production sound, you'll at least know what questions to ask...
