Thanks for the advice! But my parents aren't willing to pay for anything. & I actually did go to one source talent. But they said I needed to travel to different states. I can't do that. I'm only 13, and I have school, and I just want a movie or something to be filmed in or near Chicago cause that's where I live. Any more suggestions?

Tough fact is that very little films in Chicago these days. There just isn't much film industry there to be a part of. Even most movies you see that are set in Chicago are actually filmed in Toronto or Vancouver.
My best advice to you would be to do some theatre. Chicago is a great city for live theatre with a lot of serious organizations and training. You can probably find programs to develop your talent, and give you real exposure to working with other artists.
There are also some great film schools in Chicago. You could contact them and ask if they have any database for young actors who are willing to work for free with their film students. I imagine students may have trouble filling roles for young people.
