He has been involved directly in international film sales for over 30 years, and has been integrally involved in film distribution, generally, for 42 years. He knows the industry both as a territorial distributor and as an international salesman. Dimbort entered the film industry in 1964 as a distribution executive for Golan Globus Films in Israel, where he was responsible for the marketing and exploitation of the company's film rights in the Israeli market. In 1980, Dimbort moved to Los Angeles, where he became head of international sales for Cannon Films, one of the most prolific film production/distribution companies of the era. In 1992, he left MGM to start Nu Image Inc., an international distribution company he co-chairs with Avi Lerner.

In 1996, Dimbort and Nu Image formed Millennium Films to address the market's growing need for quality theatrical films and higher budget action features, while Nu Image continued to serve the home video market. Between the two divisions, over 200 films have been produced since 1992.
