Interesting facts

Endless Cookie is a 2025 Canadian adult animated documentary film written and directed by Seth Scriver and Peter Scriver.

Production

Seth Scriver created Asphalt Watches in 2013. Daniel Bekerman, who founded Scythia Films, learned of Seth through Asphalt Watches and enjoyed the film. Bekerman became a producer for Endless Cookie and secured funding for it.

Seth, who is white, and his half-brother Peter, who is indigenous, started work on Endless Cookie, a film about their family's history, in 2016, at Peter's house in Shamattawa First Nation. They faced interruptions from the 7 children and 12 dogs in Peter's house, but Seth chose to incorporate them into the production.

Telefilm Canada provided funding for the film and is featured in the film as a character. The National Film Board of Canada did not provide funding for the film, but is mentioned in it as the NFG (No fucking good).

Seth animated around 90% of the film over the course of nine years and Julian Gallese helped for two months. Animation was initially done using Adobe Flash 8, but Seth later switched to Adobe Animate and Adobe After Effects.

The story line about building a tipi was created in order to ground the audience in the world of the characters. A scene in which two car seats hear about the disproportionate incarceration of indigenous people was inspired by the Idle No More protest.
