Spider-Verse Short Film on the Way
In addition to a second Spider-Verse movie, there is also a short film on the way, which was brought to life through a program at Sony called LENS (Leading and Empowering New Storytellers). The new short is called The Spider Within. LENS creators Michelle Raimo Kouyate and David Schulenburg are overseeing and producing the project.
“We feel honored and privileged to have been given the opportunity to give shape to the inaugural launch of the LENS program,” Kouyate and Schulenburg said in a statement. “We are incredibly proud of how the hard work of all four filmmakers โ Jarelle Dampier, Khaila Amazan, Clara Chan and Joe Darko โ has paid off. They far exceeded all expectations as they stepped into their leadership roles and created a remarkable short. We are very grateful to be part of a studio that is doing meaningful work to give voice to varied groups and to the studio leadership โ Kristine Belson, Michelle Grady, Pam Marsden and Paul Martin โ who gave rise to this program and supported us every step along the way.”
