Maere Studios is a visual effects, design, and animation studio in New York City founded by Nicholas Ashe Bateman.[1][2][3] The studio was initially formed by Bateman to make the microbudget feature film The Wanting Mare.[4][5][6]
The studio has done the visual effects for over 25 films including The Green Knight, Peter Pan & Wendy, Origin, Knock at the Cabin, Y2K, An Almost Christmas Story, Free Solo, Caddo Lake, and the music video for Father John Misty’s song "Funny Girl".[7][8][9]
In 2024, Maere Studios designed and did all visual effects for the short film An Almost Christmas Story, which premiered on Disney+. The animated short was a co‑production between Maere Studios, Disney Television Studios, Alfonso Cuarón's Esperanto Filmoj, and Titmouse, Inc.[10]
In 2025, Maere Studios announced its first original animated feature film, a fantasy epic The Turning Door, written and directed by Bateman. The film features the voices of Alicia Vikander, Jamie Dornan, Gillian Anderson, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Bill Nighy.[11]
