Eight lucky islanders have the chance to immerse themselves in all things Bergerac with a 13-week traineeship for the second series.
Westward Studios is offering a group of Jersey residents the chance to learn about all things filmmaking from 28 July.
Successful candidates will be able to work in a range of sectors, from production to props, and assistant directing to the art department.
Executive Producer Brian Constantine says they are committed to giving back to the island through various means.
"Most importantly, [we want to provide] opportunities for Jersey-born talent to gain a rare chance to join a professional film crew.
"This scheme is about opening doors and helping the next generation find their way into the industry."
Islanders must be aged 21 and above to have the opportunity to join the crew.
