About CB Sverige AB
Copenhagen Bombay was founded in 2006 by producer Sarita Christensen and film director
Anders Morgenthaler. Their ambition was to create a company with openness and enthusiasm
for original stories and new talent, an innovative creative environment and a positive
engagement of new ways of doing business.
Since the beginning in 2006 Copenhagen Bombay has positioned itself first and foremost as a
production company and animation studio producing high quality animation for low budgets,
and with such success that we in 2011 expanded with the production company and animation
studio in Sweden, CB Sverige AB. Since then producer Petter Lindblad (www.imdb.com/name/
nm2503512) is located in Stockholm where he has built up an animation studio for producing
Swedish projects and co-producing internationally.
Copenhagen Bombay put a lot of focus on the teamwork and the closeknit teams working
together to create amazing projects. We don’t send projects abroad, but create teams and
projects that can be realized in our studios in Scandinavia. We want to produced locally to
have the experience and best people stay here and continue working with us.
About the project
BEYOND BEYOND is the second feature film by director Esben Toft Jacobsen (www.imdb.com/
name/nm2593468), his first being THE GREAT BEAR that had its world premiere in competition
at Berlinale 2011 and has since participated in close to 50 festivals worldwide and been sold to
over 20 territories.
BEYOND BEYOND is a stereoscopic 3D-animated adventure film for children 6-9 years old, and

About

My name is Måns Björklund and i'm the one behind this blog, VFX Sverige. This blog is a project that I do on my spare time. To get in contact with me, click here. here.

Why?

Why VFX Sverige? I've always been interested in vfx and especially 3D. I felt that there was no place where all the projects produced or projects that have some connection to Sweden was collected. The idea is that you will submit new links to your new projects to me, and I will upload it on the blog. So tip me so I can keep VFX Sverige updated with the latest VFX projects.
