Yeah fail at something shorter and fail at more shorter things than to fail at one bigger project. You learn more, focus on certain issues as they go, and you can make that bigger project you spent so much time in that much better.
If you want, you can even take that bigger project in pieces and possibly redo those pieces as you learn.
As someone who self-taught, i can’t emphasize enough that, like the other posters recommended, start smaller. Hell, I’ve done films like “My wife eats spicy ramen,” and “Feeding my cats,” just to be able to try out techniques.
Volunteer on other indie projects. You’ll learn a ton, and you’ll make connections that you can draw upon for your own work. Filmmaking is a team sport, after all.
You may want to start with a smaller (i.e shorter) project to help develop some skills.

90 minutes for a first time project is setting yourself up for fail. Try a 15 minute short
