        History

        Gordon Hinch began his career in advertising in the 1950s, and joined the CBC in 1957. By 1965, he was creating half-hour productions of experimental dramas and special programs like You Can Always Learn from a Lady, The Painted Door, Three Penny Profile, and others. In 1969, Hinch helmed the Imperial Oil Motion Pictures Program, where he produced 8 titles (including the award-winning The Edge of Evolution and The Newcomers, a celebration of Imperial Oil’s centenary).
        Hinch partnered with Joseph Green and Leon Major to form Gemstone Productions in the 1980s. Gemstone produced The Dining Room, The Sunshine Boys and Sullivan and Gilbert for the stage in major cities across Canada. In association with Primedia Productions they also produced Glory Enough for All, the largest independently financed Canadian dramatic mini-series of its day on the topic of Banting and Best and the discovery of insulin.
