It will be on my youtube channel in one hour. I hope you enjoy it.”The “Eighth Grade” filmmaker’s special — which came after previous releases like 2010’s “Words, Words, Words,” 2013’s “What.” and 2016’s “Make Happy” (also from Netflix) — was instantly hailed as the comedian’s magnum opus, garnering both critical and audience acclaim.

It was nominated for six Emmys, of which it won three.Released May 30, 2021, the special was praised for its relatability and frank portrayal of mental health, coming roughly a year of isolation due to COVID, as well as its commentary on loneliness, social movements and life in the digital age. “Inside” was filmed throughout the course of a year entirely by Burnham, who also wrote, executive produced and edited the project.

While he received help in production, sound and editorial departments, it was largely self-made without a crew or audience present.
