Do or make a film?

Can we use both verbs? If so, is there a difference? Make seems more natural to me, but I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance

What about actors? Can we say they make films too (when they play a role in a film)?

E.g. Brad Pitt likes to make films in Los Angeles.

Can we also use do in this sense?

"Make a film" is what the producer or director does. They also edit and produce a film.
If you are a one-man film-maker, you are the director, cameraman, editor and producer.

He won a prize for film-making.

If you just act a role in the film, you are not making the film.
