Endless Cookie premiered at Sundance and won the Contrechamp Grand Prix at Annecy, the Rogers Audience Award at Hot Docs, and Best Feature Documentary at the Canadian Screen Awards, among other accolades. The film's structure meanders through stories told by Pete, anecdotes from his own life interweaving with local legends from his home in Shamattawa, a remote First Nations community in Canada. These stories were recorded and edited over nine years by his Toronto-based half-brother, Seth, who then animated the scenes, creating a colorful, surreal world in which humour, care, spirituality, and everyday eccentricity sit alongside tragedy, social injustice, and occasional horror. The colourful design balances the cute with the borderline grotesque, building a captivating world unlike anything you've seen before.
