Entering production hell

So it's several weeks into the new term. It's still very cold outside. And so far the project isn't going well. In fact, it isn't going at all.
For the first few weeks of the term I've had essays and assigments for other modules which took up my time, but those are out the way now and I have plenty of time but nothing is happening. I think the problem is I don't know where to start. I keep thinking about what I should do but can't find any answers, so time keeps going on without me doing anything. And that makes me feel anxious which just makes me avoid the work even more. It's a viscious cycle...
My schedule in the planning folder said that I should've found the cast and crew by the end of January. Well it's been Febuary for almost a week and nothing. The crew will be easy enough to find at this uni, but I don't know where to find a good cast. I know they're out there, but I don't know how to find them! I've had a few friends say they know someone I could talk to but then seemed to forget about me completely. It's not just about finding people, it's about finding people with something interesting to say. So what should I do? Go around all my friends and ask them? Put up a notice? (would require Photoshop skills which I don't have) Send out a mass e-mail? That could work, if I can find the person who sends them out. But it could also be an epic fail. Most of the time I just ignore those mass e-mails.
Ok, so I think the first thing I should do is calm down and remember that it's not too late. I've recovered well from disasters before. Secondly, I think I should talk to my guiding tutor who will at least give me some things to do or think about. Thirdly, make a list of things to do, even if they're just small things, and start doing them. At least if I'm staying active, I won't feel anxious anymore.
