The banjo bolt on the outlet line of the filter should have a bleed screw in it. Crack that and pump the fuel pump handle till you get the air out of the filter. If you had done that when you changed the filter, it would have started, stumbled a bit, cleared it's throat, and then run.

Now you must do the above, then bleed at least 3 of the injectors. Might as well do all six. It'll probably start after bleeding 2 or 3. Keep bleeding the rest of them and it'll smooth out. Should only take a few seconds on each. Only caveat is that you didn't get some crud in the fuel line post filter.
