Development

The Wanting Mare is Bateman's first feature-length film; he did not attend film school and worked independently on the film's development, part of which was funded through a campaign on the crowdsourcing website Indiegogo.[3] Shane Carruth was involved with executive production for a time, but he removed his name from the project in 2020 after accusations of abuse against him were made public.[3] Bateman shot much of the film in a storage unit in Paterson, New Jersey;[4][5] other shots were filmed along the coast of the northeastern United States and in Nova Scotia, Canada.[6]

Reception

The film received a positive review from Wired[7] and mixed reviews from IndieWire,[8] RogerEbert.com,[9] Variety,[3] and Polygon.[10]
