My first bit of advice (unsolicited) is to ask if you've ever read or heard of John Truby (http://www. truby.com). If you haven't, buy his book. He's the best screenwriting guru. All the others are too anecdotal to be able to clearly understand what they claim is "the way to write" a screenplay. Truby has done the best job of dismantling all of the story beats and structural steps in writing.
Even if you don't consider yourself a writer, all of the best film directors have also done at least some writing, or were both. It behooves any filmmaker to understand, not writing, but story. Check him out.
As for filmmaking, just keep practicing and ask yourself this, "What makes something look amateurish and what makes something look professional." One last bit, in answer to that question I just posed: Sound. Bad sound makes anything "look" amateurish, good sound at least can be heard. I've got more, but that's it for now.
Cheers!
