Endless Cookie follows half-brothers Seth and Pete Scriver as they piece together a fractured family history. Growing up in different worlds—Seth in Toronto, Pete in Shamattawa First Nation—their stories clash, overlap, and diverge in unexpected ways. The film weaves Pete’s memories of life on the reserve with Seth’s city upbringing, tracing how race, class, and colonial legacies shaped two very different childhoods under the same absent father.
Wild, exaggerated and sudden bursts of surreal comedy. An echo of memory itself as the film jumps and interrupts itself. Dogs bark, kids wander into the frame, laughter undercuts painful recollections. Through this messy chorus, a portrait of family emerges—imperfect, contradictory, but alive with resilience.
Rather than offering a polished family saga, Endless Cookie insists on the vitality of digression, the honesty of interruptions, and the humour that makes even the hardest truths bearable. It is both a family album and a social history, told with irreverence, vulnerability, and deep affection. A celebration of oral tradition, a critique of what’s erased when voices are buried, and a love letter to storytelling itself.
