Background

This is Martin Scorsese's production company based in New York City founded in 1989 as Cappa Productions, with "Cappa" being the maiden name of his mother, Catherine Scorsese, who regularly played roles in his films. In the 1990s, his then-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 Walt Disney Studios. The company adopted its current name in 2003, with "Sikelia" being 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 and in 2020, Sikelia entered a first-look deal with Apple Original Films.
