30 Contestants

$20,000 Prize

About DH Reel L!fe:

DH Reel L!fe is a reality TV show where students and/or contestants will compete to win a $20k monetary prize utilizing their social media skills over a two month period.  Rising high school juniors (17 years and older) contestants will compete in two facets – as an individual and as a member of a team. Contestants will be paired with different General Contractors (Builder, Designer, and/or Kitchen and bath remodelors) building the company’s media presence all while boosting the contestant’s own individual social media platforms.  CONTESTANTS WILL NOT BE PERFORMING CONSTRUCTION.  YOU WILL BE WORKING ON MEDIA ONLY.  You will be sharpening your skills in filming, editing, producing, and promoting of social media and TV content.  You will be given different tasks each week with deadlines to create a competitive environment.  Your completed projects will be subjected to a panel of judges who will eliminate contestants each week until there is one final winner left standing.

The featured designer(s) and/or contractor(s) that participate will increase their social media exposure and receive free publicity throughout the duration of the contest.   The DH Reel L!fe cast will work with the individual contractors towards strengthening their infrastructure, workmanship, operations, and processes.  Another realm of opportunity exists for local businesses to provide products or meals in exchange for free publicity. If you are a small business owner that would like to be featured please select “apply now”, and let us know you would like more information.   

Our goal is to have a ton of fun and create relationships while we also challenge budding entrepreneurs to impact the world around them with the content they create.  Apply now for this amazing opportunity to boost your social media presence and potentially catapult yourself into a career in the film industry.

Meet the Founder:

David Taylor is an entrepreneur in the kitchen and bath industry. For almost 25 years, he has watched our world be massively transformed by social media and realized that the working world is increasingly relying on a social media presence to advance their product or company.  After two and a half years of wrestling through his own social media, David has developed a deeper understanding of the enormous expense and overwhelming feat this can be for entrepreneurs that do not have the knowledge or skills to further their own social media platforms.  The younger generations seemingly have been born with tech savvy tendencies!  David’s desire is to bridge the gap between the “older generation” company with the “younger generation” influencer and to see the small American made business thrive in a world that has become so fast, busy, and “techy”.  DH Reel L!fe is the platform to bridge this gap.  Come journey with us as we increase the knowledge of the older generation and boost the careers of the budding content creators.

    Designhouse Reel Life and most of our staff are believers in Jesus Christ. Although we are not perfect, we try to live by the principles put forth in the Bible, which we believe to be the living and inerrant word of God!  We will do our best to produce content that upholds those principles and ethics, but our desire is to welcome anyone from all walks of life to compete as long as you meet the requirements set forth on the website and “contestant agreement” competition guidelines. DH Reel Life cannot control content that is produced by competitors after they leave the show.  However, we will do our best to put into place third-party affiliates who will choose the contestants in a way that ensures they will produce content that is safe for viewers of all ages. This includes but is not limited to content that is free from sexual innuendos, vulgar language or curse words, and free of provocative dress.
    We will never push our beliefs on anyone since it is the very foundation of our belief that everyone can choose their own path in life but we will do our best as if not to compromise.  Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to meeting all of you on the set.
