Temple Street Productions

Background

Temple Street Productions is a Canadian production company based in Toronto, Ontario. It was founded in 1996 by Patrick Whitley and Sheila Hockin. In 2006, they sold Temple Street to Billable Hours producers Ivan Schneeberg and David Fortier, two former entertainment lawyers who they had employed since 2003, and who have founded their own production company, Boat Rocker Media that same year.

In late 2008, BBC Worldwide acquired a 25% minority stake in Temple Street. This deal gave the company a first-look option to produce BBC-licensed productions in Canada, while providing BBC Worldwide with the international distribution Temple Street's original productions.

In early 2016, Temple Street was reorganized under Boat Rocker Media, and its film and digital media assets were folded into Boat Rocker Studios. The television production arm however has been left intact.
