any tips on improving from this, specifically directing, editing, and filming, can't really do much about shitty actors

Love it, that beat is so ill...Do some beter sound editing as far as sfx are concerned like edit out the crinking of the water bottle plastic [unless u like the realness in that] what triggered me was the act of yah sound lightning or whatever instead of using the tin pan use like an actual short lightning crack....
I don't like the font in the credits. It doesn't match the title and byline, or the tone of the film, really.
Whenever Mike(?) says "oh hello didn't see ya" I think he should be in a different position on camera, so it doesn't look like a crappy YouTuber cut where they slice out all their ums and uhs. Normally it's good about that, but when he's out in the snow it's noticeable.
A lot of sections have too much background noise/echo. Look into some sort of way to record the audio without that.
The slow-mo shot of the school at the beginning has a lower framerate than the rest of the video, and it's a bit jarring.
Otherwise it's pretty decent for a student film.
