ControlTV.com, the interactive reality web series from actor/producer Seth Green and Digital Broadcasting Group, ControlTV (www.ControlTV.com), today kickstarts a six-week live-streamed social experiment that will allow viewers to dictate daily decisions for the show’s protagonist, Tristan Couvares, in real time, 24 hours a day.

Viewers will help 25-year-old Tristan face his quarter-life crisis head-on deciding everything from what he wears and eats, to where he works and who he dates. Launching today at 8 a.m. PT, the show will open with the audience’s first vote being how to wake Tristan in his new, camera-rigged loft in Los Angeles, California.

Viewers can tune in to vote and watch on Tristan’s life at www.ControlTV.com.

Audience members can log on to www.ControlTV.com to observe Tristan LIVE, cast roughly a dozen votes throughout each day, engage with other viewers and watch as Tristan does what the majority audience wants.

Social media forums like Facebook (www.facebook.com/YouControlTV) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/YouControlTV) will also keep fans connected, while those that would like to get deeper insight into Tristan’s life can check out his Twitter and Facebook pages (www.twitter.com/tristancouvares/ www.facebook.com/TristanCouvares).

Fans can also choose to receive updates via email and text messages so they can keep up with Tristan’s next move.
