SYFY LAUNCHES FIRST PHASE OF INNOVATIVE CAPRICA MARKETING CAMPAIGN WITH SCREENINGS AT PRESTIGIOUS FILM FESTIVALS IN SAN DIEGO, WOODSTOCK AND AUSTIN

Caprica Premieres on Syfy January 22, 2010

New York, NY � September 30, 2009 � Syfy is launching the first phase of its innovative national marketing campaign behind the highly anticipated January 22, 2010, premiere of Caprica with screenings at the prestigious San Diego, Woodstock and Austin Film Festivals.

Humanity's storyline takes completely new twists with Caprica, which follows two rival families and their patriarchs � Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz) and Joseph Adama (Esai Morales) � as they compete and thrive in the vibrant realm of the 12 Colonies, a society recognizably close to our own. This original, standalone series will feature the passion, intrigue, political backbiting, and family conflict in an omnipotent society that is at the height of its blind power and glory�and, unknowingly, on the brink of its fall. Caprica also stars Paula Malcomson (Amanda Graystone), Polly Walker (Sister Clarice Willow), Magda Apanowicz (Lacy) and Alessandra Torresani (Zoe Graystone).

Said Blake Callaway, Vice President, Brand Marketing, Syfy: �As heir to the rich legacy of Battlestar Galactica, Caprica is more than a new television series. With its pedigree of talent, cinematic look, feel and design along with the intelligence of the program�s vision and provocative story lines, Caprica is a natural fit for a film festival. Reflecting the unique way we�re planning on marketing the series, San Diego, Woodstock and Austin Film Festivals are great platforms to kick off the Caprica marketing campaign.�
