90th Parallel Productions is one of Canada's premier high-end documentary production houses.
We currently have a number of productions underway including:
- Tough Choices - a four part current affairs series with Gord Martineau for CityTV
- Three one-hour documentaries for CBC's The Nature of Things
- Two films commissioned by CTV/TSN for the 100th Anniversary of the Grey Cup
- And a feature length documentary on one man's journey with mental illness for ShawMedia
We have a number of projects in development but we probably didn't need to tell you that.
In 2010, we joined the digital revolution and produced interactive websites in conjunction with two of our television projects.
The Geologic Journey site was an Official Honoree in the Television Category at the 2010 Webby Awards and We Will Remember Them was nominated for a 2011 Gemini for Best Cross-Platform Project - Non Fiction.
Not bad for our first stab at interwebbing, eh?
On this site you'll find nearly everything you need to know about 90th Parallel. Video clips of past productions can be found in the our documentaries section, short bios on our people and check out the news page for upcoming airdates and other, well, news.
Before you ask, we can explain the quirky name: Gordon Henderson had done a lot of work in the Arctic so a northern name seemed fitting. There is actually no such thing as the "90th Parallel." It's a point. The North Pole. Okay, the South Pole too. But we're Canadian.
