Go Fish Pictures was an American film production and distribution company and a division of DreamWorks SKG,[1] The company was founded in 2000 in order to produce and release arthouse, independent and foreign films. The division was initially successful with the anime films Millennium Actress[1] and Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence in 2003 and 2004 respectively. This led to venturing into live-action films with the releases of The Chumscrubber and The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio.
