Scripted by Jannik Tai Mosholt and Jacobsen, Beyond, Beyond is the story of a little rabbit, Johan, who has lived with his father on board a ship as long as he remembers. He always thought that something was missing, and one day his father has gone ashore for shopping, he receives a call on the radio - from his mother. He decides to find her, without knowing he is up against a powerful force; but he is about to learn more about life.

A former student of visual communication at Denmark's School of Design, Jacobsen graduated in animation from Denmark's National Film School (2006); his graduation movie Having a Brother earned him a Special Mention at the Berlinale, and he has since been attached to Danish production company, Copenhagen Bombay, directing the short Kiwi & Strit.
