Inspired by the film "The Blues Brothers" at the age of 10, Jakob's passion for filmmaking was ignited. Armed with his father's camcorder, he spent countless hours crafting stop-motion films using LEGO.

In 1998, Jakob submitted a short film featuring a digital spider to a local festival and received recognition with a prize. This milestone propelled him further into the world of filmmaking and sparked his desire to pursue it as a career.

After visiting the Festival de Cannes in 2005, Jakob made a bold move and relocated to Shanghai, China, often referred to as the "New York of the East." There, he quickly established himself as a prominent filmmaker, working with prestigious clients such as Porsche, Dell, and Microsoft. He founded his own production company, MK Media Productions, and delved into various creative endeavors, including writing three feature film scripts and working on the visual effects crew for the high-budget production "John Rabe." Additionally, he directed his first feature film, "The Way of the Spur."
