On April 14, 2015, Cantu committed suicide. Moto was closed the next several days, reopening on April 18. A special "celebration of (Cantu’s) life" menu was offered for three days in which 10–20 former Moto employees offered contributions. Executive chef Richie Farina commented "The last thing he would want was for us not to be in the kitchen cooking ... We're going to continue to do what he taught us and what he would want." Following his death in 2015, Director/Producer Brett A. Schwartz of StoryScreen directed and produced a feature-length documentary film called "Insatiable: The Homaro Cantu Story" (2016). "Insatiable" had its world premiere at SXSW (South By Southwest Film Festival) in March 2016. The film includes many scenes shot inside Moto and iNG.
