Why Zebulon?
It seems a fair question, but if the answer expected is some great revelation about a wonderful community in North Carolina, it may be somewhat confusing. Zebulon, NC was picked solely on a whim by Raif Wolfe. Seeing the sign for Zebulon on his many road trips on I-95, the name just sunk in. During one trip to Atlanta, Georgia, Raif decided to take a detour and check out this place called Zebulon. What he found was a great place with such diversity and friendly people that it made sense that it be the setting for this project. It was such an impressive town that even after photographing and filming areas for location references it made it into the title.
