Westfield resident to produce ‘Mayberry Man’ — A new movie inspired by “The Andy Griffith Show” is slated to film for approximately two weeks in central Indiana to coincide with the 2020 “Mayberry in the Midwest” Festival taking place in Danville May 15-17. The feature-length family comedy titled “Mayberry Man” is being produced by children of actors who appeared in the original 1960s television series and is being crowdfunded on Kickstarter through this month. The project was about halfway to its funding goal after just one week. Producer Cort Howell, son of Hoke Howell, who played hillbilly Dud Wash on the classic series, lives in Westfield and bases his production company in Carmel. His older brother, Stark Howell, is the writer/director and is based in Los Angeles. Fans can support the movie and choose from a range of rewards on Kickstarter through Feb. 29 by visiting MayberryMan.com.
