Abstract

When an evil mining company tampers with the magical stability of the mountains, a young girl named Meera must continue the journey her lost mother started to save the mountains from collapsing on her home. This is the story told in Moving Mountains, a 90-120 page animated action-adventure screenplay. This thesis consists of the written screenplay followed by a support paper detailing the inspiration and process of creating the story. The screenplay combines historical inspiration from West Virginia coal mining culture and history with fantastical elements of magical realism to tell a fun but serious story that highlights the unfair grittiness and exploitative livelihood of miners and harsh mining practices.
