In Search of Fellini is a 2017 coming-of-age adventure movie, directed by Taron Lexton, starring Ksenia Solo, Maria Bello and Mary Lynn Rajskub. The movie was inspired by the early years in the entertainment industry and a journey to Italy to “find herself” of Nancy Cartwright (whose Spotted Cow Entertainment sold the North American rights to Ambi Media Group).
