Sony Pictures Animation has teamed up with the Kevin Love Fund and released their Spider-Verse short film The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story.
In the genre-bending short-thriller, Miles Morales struggles to balance his responsibilities as a teenager, friend, and student while acting as Brooklyn’s friendly neighbourhood 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 is part of the Kevin Love Fund’s new mental health focused lesson plan, which invites students to tell their own story through the lens of mental health awareness via an interactive curriculum including a creative storyboard activity.
