TFI LIVE, Episode #13 (Tribeca Fest Edition) 'Diamond, Silver and Gold' Director Jason Kohn

In our final podcast from the Tribeca Film Festival we return to our Industry Meetings talk to director Jason Kohn and producer Amanda Branson Gill about their film Diamond, Silver and Gold (TFI Documentary Fund grantee) in which they focus on the competition to create life in the laboratory set against the synthetic diamond business.

Kohn is best known for his award-winning documentary Manda Bala (Send A Bullet) but since the immediate success of his debut film back in 2007 he's not had much luck getting films off the ground. Following going to Los Angeles to make it big he found himself in a rut and making commercials to get by.

Here he talks about what he's learned from making and releasing Manda Bala and what we should expect from his new film.
