Endless Cookie is a psychedelic family portrait of two Canadian half-brothers
Imagine taking your favourite family memories and spinning them into a full-length movie. That's exactly what the Toronto filmmaker Seth Scriver has done with the animated documentary Endless Cookie, which he created over nine years with his half-brother Peter. Though Seth and Peter lead radically different lives (they're separated by age, culture and geography), they say making a movie brought them closer together. They join guest host Talia Schlanger to tell us how they bonded through filmmaking. Endless Cookie recently won the audience award for best Canadian documentary at Hot Docs. You can catch the film in select theatres now. The full interview with Seth and Peter Scriver is available on our podcast, Q with Tom Power. Listen and follow wherever you get your podcasts. Interview with Seth and Peter Scriver produced by Vanessa Greco.
