Moshe Diamant has a long and illustrious career, spanning over 70 producer credits to his name. His journey started in the late 1970s where he trained as an engineer, allowing him to create a process of subtitling for video that attracted Hollywood's notice. Before long, the production side of the business captured his interest, so he started to push his efforts in that direction. He was a partner in a production house, Trans World Entertainment, a company that lasted from 1983 to 1993.

During this time, he developed a specialty in low-budget action movies, often starring martial arts figures such as Shô Kosugi, who played the lead in a typical Diamant offering, Pray for Death (1985). Perhaps inevitably, the producer linked up with Belgian action specialist Jean-Claude Van Damme and was a producer on several of the actor's movies. These include the globe-trotting thriller Double Impact (1991), which featured the star playing twins, and the science-fiction-flavored action Timecop (1994). After TWE's demise, Diamant started to diversify in terms of genre and budget. He produced the e-horror offering Feardotcom (2002) and the 2006 Brian De Palma period mystery biopic, The Black Dahlia (2006). During that year he also produced Tristan + Isolde (2006) staring James Franco.

Since then, Moshe has gone on to produce 27 feature films. He is currently in production with The Hurricane Heist (2018), a $37m action film directed by Rob Cohen and starring Toby Kebbell, Maggie Grace and Ryan Kwanten.
