Filmed episodes were released in real-time to a branded YouTube channel as events happened to Christina.

But there were other videos too. Christina and secondary characters posted video messages to each other and the audience on their Facebook pages and on YoutTube. And fans made their own videos to drive the story and support Christina.

Video clues and riddles from Christina's captor started appearing as Easter Eggs on YouTube. The audience also participated in Hollywood's first Social Casting call via YouTube, where one lucky fan earned a cameo role in Episode 5.

Character Pages

Characters came alive through their own Facebook pages, where the audience could interact with characters courtesy of a full-time screenwriter.

Many of theses interactions ended up in the filmed episodes on Christina's laptop screen, pulled in from the actual Facebook pages just minutes before airing.

The audience also interacted with Christina Perasso via Twitter.

The promoted tweet #savechristinaperasso was a crucial element in Episodes 4 and 5. During these Episodes the audience used Twitter to help Christina Perasso earn a meal from her captor.
