Endless Cookie is a Canadian animated documentary film, directed by Seth Scriver and Peter Scriver and released in 2025. The film centres on their experiences as half-brothers who share the same father, but whose relationship faced various complications as they were growing up, including a 16-year age gap and the fact that Peter's mother was a Cree member of the Shamattawa First Nation while Seth's mother was white.

Production on the film began in 2016, but was complicated by both Peter's busy family life and the difficulties in transportation to Shamattawa, a remote fly-in community in northern Manitoba.

The film premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.

Critical response

Pat Mullen of Point of View wrote that "This film illustrates the pleasure to be found in nostalgia and the importance of passing down stories by generations. Pete’s fish stories have great markers of time, place, and history in their own roundabout ways. As Seth burns through a pile of public money to his brother’s stories, the adventure provides a cathartic laugh. The film shares the importance of humour in keeping a community spirit alive and healthy. If it means focusing on seemingly mundane fables that kind of/sort of have a moral, but at least provide some levity, so be it. Endless Cookie may be the strangest, most seemingly nonsensical documentary in some time. But there’s one truth to a whackadoodle odyssey like this one: you will definitely have a story to tell afterwards."
