Ksenia Solo, Mary Lynn Rajskub and Maria Bello are going In Search of Fellini.

The actresses have been cast in the coming-of-age drama, which will be directed by Taron Lexton, with a script from Nancy Cartwright and Peter Kjenaas.

In Search of Fellini follows one girl’s journey searching for the legendary Italian filmmaker, Frederico Fellini.

Principal photography for In Search of Fellini has already begun, with plans to shoot in Cleveland, Ohio as well as Venice, Verona, Milan and Rome.

“This is a 30-year-labor-of-love,” says Cartwright. “Finding and working with Taron, Mary Lynn, Maria, Ksenia and this particular crew has made this a real dream-come-true.”
