Gary Meyer It was written and directed by Gregory Bezat and previously presented at the Mill Valley Film Festival (2022) and the Indie Memphis Film Festival (2022). Now it is part of the 21st Morelia International Film Festival (FICM). During the presentation of the documentary, producer Gary Meyer answered questions from the audience. He revealed that, at a very young age, he had an approach to Fisher's works, specifically How to Cook a Wolf. He joked: "It disenchanted me because I thought it would be about werewolves." Meyer also spoke about the disconnection between contemporary society and cooking: “I think the shows where we see people cooking make us think ‘I can't do it,’ but I also see a tendency in people to look for food straight from the field and cook more healthily.” Finally, he said he loves the festival so much that he has come as a spectator and diner to enjoy the mole.
