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. 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. Bateman shot much of the film in a storage unit in Paterson, New Jersey; other shots were filmed along the coast of the northeastern United States and in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Reception
The film received a positive review from 'Wired' and mixed reviews from 'IndieWire', 'RogerEbert.com', 'Variety', and 'Polygon'.
