“Miles represents so many of us doing the best we can in our day-to-day lives,” director Jarelle Dampier stated earlier. “We don’t often realize all that we’ve been through until our own body forces us to become aware of its experience. My intention is that The Spider Within can motivate deeper conversations amongst friends and family about their own mental health journeys — and I hope it feels like a love letter to those who adore Miles Morales.”
