Endless Cookie (2025), a documentary-animation hybrid by brothers Seth and Peter Scriver now available on MUBI, emerged from a nine-year creative journey capturing oral histories within their First Nations family in Shamattawa, Manitoba. Originally conceived as seven linear narrative recordings, the project evolved when domestic chaos—children, dogs, household noise—repeatedly interrupted interviews with family patriarch Pete. Rather than viewing these disturbances as obstacles, the filmmakers reconceptualized the work as a layered family portrait, weaving storytelling interruptions into the formal structure itself, mirroring the texture of conversation around a kitchen table. The Notebook essay contextualizes production through behind-the-scenes photography, storyboards, and candid family moments spanning the decade-long production, emphasizing how creative constraints catalyzed aesthetic innovation and deepened intimate documentary practice.
