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.
Following the cancellation of many long-running soap operas in 2011, executive producer John Grossman assembled a team of filmmakers to document the events surrounding this milestone in American culture as they unfolded.
A long time General Hospital fan, Grossman was dismayed by the networks' sudden decisions to cancel an array of programs and recognized the need to help save the widely beloved Soap Operas.
In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, D'Amato describes the film as being, "About the past, present and future, but the focus is what's currently happening and where it's going.
"[2] The project was predominantly self-funded, but made effective use of Kickstarter to raise the money needed for post-production work and subsequent distribution.
