A former news photographer for NBC-Affiliate station KKRD in Wichita, Kansas, Parkinson moved to Los Angeles in 1983 and began working in the emerging home video industry at Continental Video, Inc.

Home Video, Inc., before moving to Hemdale Film Corporation in March 1991 to become President of Hemdale Home Video, Inc. and Hemdale Communications, Inc., with partners John Daly and Derek Gibson.

In December, 2009, Parkinson and his operating partner at Hannover House, D. Frederick Shefte, entered into an agreement to merge with the publicly-traded Target Development Group, Inc., in order to create a financing structure to facilitate the company's move into higher-profile, theatrical level films and release activities.

An old Bio of HHSE CEO Eric Parkinson when at Blue Steel Releasing (2001)
Eric Parkinson - President of Home Entertainment
Mr. Parkinson has over 18 years of experience as a senior executive and top industry producer for the video marketplace. As President and CEO of Hemdale Communications, Inc. And Plaza Entertainment, he managed all aspects of acquisition, production, campaign design, publicity, advertising, and marketing implementation for video sales. He has more Gold and Platinum video awards than any other distribution executive in the industry, holding 5 industry sales records.
4 of Parkinson's #1 Best Selling release statistically outperformed market standards by more than 500%. These films included the $23,000,000 video gross for Little Nemo, the $18,000,000 video gross for The Princess & the Goblin, the $16,000,000 video gross for The Magic Voyage, and the $25,000,000 re-release of The Terminator 8 years after it's initial distribution.
Mr. Parkinson has developed very strong and close relationships with key buyers at the nation's top mass merchants and video specialty chains. Parkinson is also accomplished as a film producer and director. His 25 feature projects have all been profitable, financial successes for the production companies, distributors and investors.
Eric Parkinson While at Hemdale Communications
Hemdale Film Corporation, known as Hemdale Communications after 1993, was an independent film production company and distributor founded in London in 1967 as the Hemdale Company by actor David Hemmings and his manager, John Daly. Hemdale was initially founded as a talent agency that helped launch the careers of such bands as Black Sabbath and Yes. However, after Hemmings left the company in 1971, Daly purchased the rest of the company and refocused Hemdale as a film studio. Originally a producer and distributor of British films, Hemdale relocated to Hollywood in 1980. Derek Gibson later joined the company.
Among its most well-known films are The Terminator, The Return of the Living Dead, Hoosiers, Salvador, River's Edge, Platoon, and The Last Emperor; the latter two were back-to-back recipients of the Academy Award for Best Picture. Despite these critical and commercial successes, Hemdale followed these films up with a series of box office bombs and the company eventually declared bankruptcy.
In 1991, Eric Parkinson joined Hemdale as president of the company, eventually shutting down its production facilities and duties, and started acquiring and distributing films independently produced by other people.
In 1995, Hemdale shut its doors, shortly after it was announced that Daly and Gibson would leave the company. The library was then incorporated into Consortium de Realisation, a French holding company set up to handle the rights to titles acquired by Credit Lyonnais Bank.
After the studio's closing, the Hemdale library was incorporated into the Orion Pictures output now owned by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, after MGM acquired the Consortium de Realisation library from PolyGram (ironically, Orion was the original distributor for many of Hemdale's films). One key exception is The Last Emperor, a Hemdale production originally issued by Columbia Pictures, but whose rights are now held by its producer, Jeremy Thomas. Most of the outside productions Hemdale distributed have subsequently returned to their original owners (such as Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland, which producer Tokyo Movie Shinsha now controls worldwide).
In 1991, Hemdale created a collection of many video cassette titles released by Hemdale Home Video, which was formed by Parkinson, around the United States of America. In 1995, the video rights to some of Hemdale's higher-profile titles were licensed to LIVE Entertainment (now Lionsgate).
The company's last new credit was for the Virgin Games video game adaptation of The Terminator, which showed up on the game's start up screen as "Hemdale's The Terminator" in text on the scrolling logo, despite all box art calling it "The Terminator"
