With a background in mountaineering and long arctic expeditions, Jacobi worked as a high altitude cameraman before launching his own expeditions. He studied Cinematography at the Den Danske Filmskole and began to make films with scientists and artists studying our relationship to nature. His personal film projects are based on his own experiences in the wilderness. The Trouble With Nature is his first film.
