GetOnSet

Streaming boom, high-end series, international co-productions - the industry is changing rapidly. We are not only looking for specialists, but also personalities with motivation, team spirit and courage. This is exactly where GetOnSet comes in: The programme opens doors for people aged 25 and over who want to make a fresh career start and work professionally on set and in the industry.

The past years show: GetOnSet works. The majority of graduates are now permanently employed or work independently in the industry. The programme combines in-depth theoretical modules with intensive practical experience, thus creating sustainable entry prospects.

Dr Carsten Brosda, Senator for Culture and Media: "A strong film industry constantly needs new talent. GetOnSet brings committed career changers together with experienced companies and thus sustainably strengthens Hamburg as a media location."

Helge Albers, CEO of MOIN Film Fund: "With GetOnSet, we are targeting people who are coming into the industry with a fresh perspective and high motivation. The programme shows how promoting young talent can work in concrete terms - in a practical, partnership-based and future-oriented way."

Stefanie Bilen, Head of Continuing Education at Hamburg Media School: "Many people dream of working on set, but don't know how to get started. GetOnSet offers a structured and realistic path into the industry. We closely accompany the participants and prepare them intensively for everyday working life."

During the programme, the trainees work in partner companies and gain real experience in the industry. They also attend seminars on topics such as dramaturgy, film law, costing, production processes and teamwork. Experts from the industry impart in-depth knowledge and share their first-hand experience.

Application deadline is 31.05.2026, programme start in October 2026. All information on requirements and procedure can be found on the Hamburg Media School website.
