Carson Lund’s feature film debut, EEPHUS, focuses on two recreational baseball 
teams, the River Dogs and Adler’s Paint. The
two teams have been meeting on their New England field on Sunday afternoons for longer than anyone can remember. These middle-aged sportsmen can’t run as fast as they used to or connect as reliably with a pitch, but 
their vigorous appetite for socializing, squabbling, and busting chops remains undiminished. After the know-nothing county board opts to raze the baseball diamond to make way for a school, the teams meet for one final game at their beloved Soldier’s Field, with girlfriends, kids, and local hooligans as intermittent spectators. As day turns to night and innings bleed together, the players face the uncertainty of a new era. Lovingly laid
in a vanished Massachusetts of the mid-1990s, Carson Lund’s poignant feature debut plays like a lazy afternoon, perfectly attuned to the rhythms of America’s eternal pastime. Named 
for a rarely-deployed curveball, Eephus is both a ribald comedy for the baseball connoisseur and a movie for anyone who’s ever lamented their community slipping away. Director and writer Carson Lund stops by to talk about his own personal connection to this story, baseball in New Hampshire, mortality, this being his feature film debut, casting Eephus aficionado Bill “Spaceman” Lee, casting legendary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman, and explaining what in the hell an eeuphus is?

“Eephus isn’t exactly a baseball movie — it’s something closer to movie-baseball, where characters endlessly jostle back and forth under no real time constraints, watching the day slowly pass them by, simply out of love for the sport.” – Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter
“Has about it a mournful, lightly absurd poetry of the mundane, a rapt attention to the intimacy of transience and the meanings we make from relics and rituals of a time we’re passing through.” – Isaac Feldberg, RogerEbert.com
“Carson Lund treats the power of a shared interest with profound, elegiac empathy.” – Jake Cole, Slant Magazine
“Lund’s new film is one of the best discoveries in the Directors’ Fortnight line-up at Cannes 2024. I’m glad I took the time to sit down and watch this one – and hopefully other baseball fans will feel the same way.” – Alex Billington, FirstShowing.net
“This thoroughly charming film is a paean to community, male friendship and a way of life slowly being lost, a comedy steeped in nostalgia which sends its players off into the darkness like the ghosts of “Field of Dreams.’” – Laura Clifford, Reeling Reviews
“Eephus is the best sports movie in years.” – Alex Papaioannou, InSession Film
