Capitol Films is at the hub of David Bergstein's Pegasus Studios - a multinational Filmed Entertainment Group - with interests in production, post-production, library management and foreign sales.

Since its inception 17 years ago, Capitol has handled the worldwide sales and distribution of over 100 films, the majority of which it has financed or co-financed.

Over the years, Capitol has enjoyed a wide range of commercial and critical success, including Robert Altman's Academy Award winning Gosford Park, horror hit Jeepers Creepers and slick gangster thriller, Lucky Number Slevin. As a result of its focused balance of product, Capitol has developed an extensive network of contacts among independent distributors in every market in the world as well as at the major Hollywood studios.

In early 2006, LA based entrepreneur David Bergstein acquired Capitol. The recent acquisition of leading US independent distributor ThinkFilm has brought physical distribution to the organisation and added an East Coast presence to the Los Angeles and London offices. The first ThinkFilm release in North America of a Capitol production was Sidney Lumet's Before the Devil Knows You're Dead starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke which was released in October 2007.

Recent Capitol productions include John Maybury's The Edge Of Love starring Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller, and Tony Kaye's Black Water Transit starring Laurence Fishburne and Karl Urban.
