Let's make

ART WITH A PURPOSE

Founded by Andrew Putschoegl, Ninja Goldfish is a production company based in Los Angeles.

I love working with people who enjoy collaboration and want to work together to make something unique.

Born and raised in Minnesota, I was fortunate to have discovered my passion early in life, at a time when a significant amount of film production was happening in my community. It was a time before iPhones and editing software on every computer, so I found ways to learn by seeking out internships and mentors in the industry. I was fortunate to have worked on films such as Kevin Smith’s Mallrats and D3: The Mighty Ducks, all before I even had my drivers’ license.

I knew that I wanted to get to California once I was old enough, and eventually I found myself at Chapman University in their burgeoning film production program. I spent a summer as the assistant to the director on New Line Cinema’s feature Sugar & Spice, back in Minnesota, continuing into the fall and winter, juggling my college courses with work.

Once I graduated from college, I spent a little over a year as a Final Cut Pro expert for Apple as their retail stores were just beginning to open around the world, and then ventured out on my own. Ninja Goldfish began as a way for me to edit reels for actors, directors, cinematographers, production designers, and myriad other talented people (more than 500 in all), and grew over time into the full-service production company it is today. I have been fortunate to direct feature films, commercials, music videos, and countless projects with clients such as Netflix, Walt Disney Imagineering, HBO Max, RCA Records, Amazon Studios, Samsung, and Nintendo. I love that there is no such thing as a “typical” day in my life – that I get to collaborate with some of the most creative, passionate, and kind people in this industry.

Skills that are synergetic

Directing

Producing

Editing

It is my core belief THAT EACH OF MY DISCIPLINES INFORM ONE ANOTHER. MY SKILLSET IS INTERCONNECTED - EVEN WHEN I’M ONLY PERFORMING ONE ROLE ON A GIVEN PROJECT, MY OTHER SKILLS INFORM AND INSPIRE MY WORK.
