The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story was produced for Sony Pictures Animation and Sony Pictures Imageworks’ Leading and Empowering New Storytellers program, which is a 9-month leadership program providing underrepresented candidates with valuable leadership experience in the field of animation. The program’s final output was to create an original short film, set in the existing world of a feature produced by Sony.
In the genre-bending thriller, 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 short is directed by Jarelle Dampier and written by Khalia Amazan. Producers include Michelle Raimo-Kouyate and David Schulenburg. Clara Chan serves as VFX supervisor, with Joe Darko as animation supervisor.
