PRODUCTION NOTES
▸ Production
Inside was filmed in the guest house of the Los Angeles home Burnham shared with his long-time girlfriend, filmmaker Lorene Scafaria, before they moved to a different property a few months after the release of the special; the guest house was also used for filming the end of Make Happy. Burnham said that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he worked on the show alone without a crew or audience. The outtakes for the special say that footage was captured between March 2020 and May 2021.
According to a leak supplied to Bloomberg News in October 2021, Netflix paid $3.9million for Inside, and assigned it an internal "efficiency" value of 2.8, against a baseline score of 1 for content that breaks even; the Netflix spokesperson who provided the statistics for Inside and several other programs on the streaming service was later fired for releasing confidential and "commercially sensitive information".
AWARDS & RECOGNITION
Summary: Won 3 Primetime Emmys. 10 wins & 14 nominations total
Additional Recognition: Burnham became the first person to win three Emmys individually (not shared with another person) in a single year: directing, writing, and music direction. After being deemed ineligible for the Best Comedy Album category, Inside was submitted at the Grammy Awards for the Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media award.
