Sikelia Productions (previous Cappa Productions/ Cappa Films) is Martin Scorsese's film production company, established in 1989.[2][3] It has produced over 40 different television shows, documentaries, and films. Some of the most notable are Shutter Island (2010), The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), Silence (2016) and The Irishman (2019).[4][5] The company is based in New York City.[6]
History
In 1989 Martin Scorsese founded his own production company with Cappa Productions.[7] "Cappa" is the maiden name of his mother, Catherine Scorsese, who regularly played roles in his films. In the 1990s his (ex-) wife Barbara De Fina also worked as a producer for the company. The two also sometimes released films under the label "De Fina – Cappa".
In the early 1990s, the company entered into a partnership with Universal Pictures. In 1996, the deal was terminated and, at the behest of Michael Ovitz, Scorsese's former agent, the company began a partnership with Disney.[8]
The name of the company was changed to Sikelia Productions in 2003. "Sikelia" is the Greek name for Sicily, the Italian region where Scorsese's grandparents came from. In the 2010s, the company had a partnership agreement with Paramount Pictures.[9] In 2020, Sikelia entered a first-look deal with Apple.[10]
