Girl Genius, the webcomic by Phil and Kaja Foglio.

So, new member here. I'm thinking of pitching a movie for this year's CAYOM. It's an adult-oriented animated sci-fi movie based on a short story I wrote for a project when I was in high school. So I have a few questions. One, how realistic is it for such a movie-- that is, an animated movie aimed at adults that isn't a comedy-- to be successful? Two, I'm not sure who to name as the director. Very few animation directors (in the US, anyway) do feature films aimed at adults, and of those who do, none really seem like a good fit for the kind of story I had in mind. So is it OK if I name a fictional director?
