Reservoir Hill - Series One

This dark and moody web series won an International Digital Emmy Award. Viewers were able to text in suggestions, aiding the main character as she unravelled a very unusual mystery. Dark-haired Beth (played by Beth Chote) arrives in a town where it's hard to know who to trust. After getting a strange reception from her classmates, she is shown a picture of missing teen Tara by Monika (Michelle Ny). Beth is a dead ringer for the missing girl. Beth tries to grasp the fate of her doppelgänger, whether Tara's ex (Tim Kano) is kooky or caring — and whose story she can trust. 

...Reservoir Hill will fill the slither of untapped space lying between scripted drama, video gaming and reality television ... each week scriptwriters will be responding to Beth's texts and Bebo messages [from viewers] and deciding which suggestions, if any, will form the rest of the plot.
