Merging creative experience from Hollywood and business experience from Austin, co-founders Anton Diether and Diane Bernard began their professional relationship in October of 2008.  In less than a year, the fruits of their efforts promise to make Dianton Productions one of the most prolific and highly profitable feature-film development, financing and production entities in Texas, Los Angeles and around the world.

Dianton Productions is currently developing and financing the feature film Suburban Gothic for production in 2010, to star Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated actress Christina Ricci.  Dianton Productions is also developing and raising funds for international feature projects with high-profile talent attachments, as well as for independent films in Texas.

ANTON DIETHER is the writer of the 1998 Hallmark TV miniseries Moby Dick, the highest-rated long-form show in basic cable history, nominated for five Emmy and two Golden Globe Awards; the 1999 ABC-TV miniseries Cleopatra; and the 2002 Hallmark Channel miniseries Stranded, which he also co-produced.  Anton developed Beauty and the Beast for Fox Family, Land of Oz for Disney, Gold Fever for Phoenix Pictures, Operation Greylord for Showtime, and Taj Mahal for Threshold Entertainment.  He recently wrote Lost At Sea for TNT, which was to star Patrick Swayze, directed by Nicholas Meyer; and Swim For Your Lives for RHI, to be filmed in 2010.

DIANE BERNARD is the Executive Producer and partner at Dianton Productions.  She has 25 years experience, as a key strategist for product, marketing, publicity and raising capital for over 200 start-ups and Fortune 500 companies. Diane?s role at Dianton is focused on managing the film project business including financing, talent acquisition, marketing and publicity for its film projects.
