Soap Life is a 2012 documentary film produced by New York Production Services that chronicles the decline of daytime television dramas and the prospective future of the genre.

Synopsis

The Soap Opera has been a staple of American television programming for over 50 years. However, in the late 2000s a number of these daytime dramas began to face major budget cuts and cancellations. Producer Matthew D'Amato and his crew sat with actors, producers, writers, and fans in over 70 interviews to provide an insider view of the world of soap operas as told by the people who live it in an attempt to uncover the reasons behind the sudden decline of the daytime soaps.

Le 6 juin 1994, une conversation privée de 8 minutes entre François Léotard (ministre de la Défense) et Étienne Mougeotte (directeur des programmes de TF1) est enregistrée avant une retransmission en direct d'un journal de télévision. Cette conversation montre clairement leur amicale complicité. La transmission de cette vidéo – jamais diffusée par TF1 – est piratée. Cette vidéo est alors revendue illégalement et Le Canard enchaîné et Entrevue en publient des extraits.

Since he first saw E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial as a child, he has had a crush on its star Drew Barrymore. Now, more than 20 years later, Herzlinger combines his passions for filmmaking and Drew Barrymore to document his quest for a date with the actress. With $1,100 he won at a game show (The winning answer being "Drew Barrymore") and a digital video camera, he has 30 days to complete his documentary before he has to return the camera under Circuit City's 30-Day Return Policy.

The film examines the effects that the soap operas have had on the lives of their female viewers from various regions, including the Balkans, the Middle East, and North Africa. The film uses interviews of women who view the soap operas, as well as those who act, produce, and write the television shows.The first Turkish soap opera that was aired internationally was Gümüş (also known as Noor in Arab nations) and was met with high viewership mostly due its popularity with women. Paschalidou depicts the television shows as acting not only as female fantasy represented on screen, but also as a vehicle for societal change.

The film opens as South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone leave New York City and the 2011 opening night of their Broadway production The Book of Mormon to return to Culver City, Los Angeles to begin the fifteenth season of South Park. The documentary chronicles the production of the season premiere, "HumancentiPad", beginning the Thursday prior to airing. Parker and Stone, alongside producers Anne Garefino, Vernon Chatman, Bill Hader, and Susan Arneson, toss out ideas for the episode. Parker mentions his frustration with downloading the latest version of iTunes, and being forced to comply with the software's long list of terms and conditions. The anecdote leads to ideas, with Parker instructing the storyboard team on how to stage a shot. The film covers various aspects of production, including voice acting, animation, lip sync, communication with standards and practices, character design, and editing.
