Award-winning filmmaker Matt Wolf is directing the feature documentary “Soaps,” which explores the family dynasty behind the biggest and most successful soaps in the industry featuring a deep dive into the wildly popular “The Bold and the Beautiful.”

“Soaps” brings audiences inside the world of soap operas with unprecedented access behind-the-scenes at “The Bold and the Beautiful” – one of only five remaining daytime shows still in production. “The Bold and the Beautiful” is a singular family business, helmed and written by Bradley Bell for over 30 years, and created by the legendary William Bell and Lee Phillip Bell, who also created “The Young and the Restless.” A love letter to an often-dismissed art form and an unexpected look at the rapid-fire process by which soap operas are made, “Soaps” explores those who have brought television’s longest running continuous stories to rapturous fans around the world for nearly half a century.
