The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story | Official Short Film (Full)

Super stoked to announce the launch of The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story, teaming up with the Kevin Love Fund. 'Cause hey, even superheroes like Miles Morales have their moments. Let's dive in! 🕷️✨
Sony Pictures Animation has teamed up with the Kevin Love Fund to digitally release the animated short film, The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story, that will be incorporated into the Kevin Love Fund’s new mental health focused lesson plan, “The Hero Within.” The lesson plan invites students to tell their own story through the lens of mental health awareness via an interactive curriculum including a creative storyboard activity. Visit kevinlovefund.org for additional information.
In the genre-bending thriller The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story, Miles Morales struggles to balance his responsibilities as a teenager, friend, and student while acting as Brooklyn’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. After a particularly challenging day living with these pressures, Miles experiences a panic attack that forces him to confront the manifestations of his anxiety and learn that reaching out for help can be just as brave an act as protecting his city from evil.
The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story was developed and produced in the inaugural year of Sony Pictures Animation (SPA) and Sony Pictures Imageworks’ (SPI) Leading and Empowering New Storytellers (LENS) program, a 9-month leadership training program that provides candidates from underrepresented groups with an opportunity to gain valuable leadership experience in animation. The final deliverable of the program is an all-original short film, set in the existing world of a feature produced by SPA and SPI.
The LENS program is backed by Sony Pictures Entertainment’s global, multi-pronged racial equity and inclusion strategy, Sony Pictures Action. The program’s goal is to provide creatives who have traditionally lacked access to leadership roles with a first-hand opportunity to deepen their understanding of every element of the animated filmmaking process including production design, animation, visual effects, lighting, sound, and various post-production processes. Through the program, participants strengthen their ability to effectively articulate their film’s creative vision and collaborate across a variety of disciplines.
The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story is directed by Jarelle Dampier and written by Khailia Amazon, and produced by LENS program creators Michelle Raimo-Kouyate and David Schulenburg. Rounding out the inaugural LENS team are Clara Chan who served as VFX supervisor and Joe Darko who served as animation supervisor.

He's the only one who got a dad.

[@RealAintAlwaysReal]

@@antattackBAMwhat dad 😂

[@linhtuong3803]

I wouldn't say he's the chillest in the world. The conflict between Miles and his dad in the first movie was that he was being forced to go to an elitist school by his father away from his friends even though he hated it there. Then in the second movie, the conflict between Miles and his parents is that they're too high Maintenance on him. I'm not saying Miles' parents are bad in anyway, this is what great parents are like - great with some flaws - I'm just saying that "chill" is definitely not the first descriptor you'd think of with Miles' parents

[@loriewaters6771]

Probably because there aren't any to compare him to

[@xmayoburkex]

I love that Miles anxiety effected his spider senses because that’s exactly what it does. Anxiety puts you in a state of survival mode and if it gets out of hand it can put you in a state of panic. Being in fight or flight mode every second of every day is exhausting.

I dont watch scary movies for a reson, and its what the appearance of the black figure made me feel. Havent felt that kind of fear in ages.
