Introduction
Endless Cookie is a new full-length animation from Seth & Pete Scriver - though to be
fair, they have been painstakingly assembling it for the last 8 years.
The film plays out like a particularly tangential fever dream - a colorful depiction of the
many overlapping episodes of the brothers' lives - from their upbringing in Downtown
Toronto’s Kensington Market to Pete's current residence in an isolated Northern
Manitoba First Nation community. As they reminisce, their yarns are often punctuated,
interrupted or else hijacked by the charismatic members of their family who indulge in
their own reveries. Endless Cookie is at heart an impressionistic and often surreal
depiction of family but it is also a documentary of the creative process.
