High Point is a character-driven drama series that digs into the real stories behind early stock car racing, moonshine running, and small-town faith in High Point, North Carolina. At its core, this project is about ordinary people facing extraordinary moral choices, and how grace, loyalty, and consequence collide on dusty back roads and Sunday-morning pews.

The series was created and written by George Putnam, whose vision shaped High Point from its earliest pages. George’s scripts weave together documented history, lived memories, and deeply human characters, always aiming for emotional honesty and spiritual depth. His heart for redemption stories, and for showing how God works in flawed people over time—gives the series its moral backbone.

Guiding the project forward is Executive Producer Matt Yesbeck, a longtime entrepreneur and close friend of George’s. Matt stepped in to champion High Point and help shepherd it from script to screen, building relationships, guiding strategy, and keeping the focus on excellence, authenticity, and a biblically grounded moral compass. His conviction is simple: if the story is truthful, well-crafted, and honors God, it can reach both church and mainstream audiences in a powerful way.

Authenticity is reinforced by two men whose families lived the world this series portrays: Bill Blair Jr., son of hauler and racer Bill Blair Sr., and Gary Lewallan, son of racer and moonshine runner Jimmie Lewallan. Bill and Gary bring more than just last names to the table—they bring family stories, hard-earned details, and a deep respect for the men who ran those roads in the 1930s and 40s. Their insight helps ensure that the racing, the cars, the culture, and the spiritual stakes all ring true.

Together, this team is committed to making High Point more than just another period drama. The goal is a grounded, cinematic series that honors real people, tells the truth about sin and grace, and invites viewers into a world where faith isn’t a backdrop, it’s the battleground.
