Carson Lund's feature-length film debut, 'Eephus,' is a nostalgic indie film set during a single baseball game between adult recreational teams in New England. The film showcases a quirky cast of characters, including scorekeeper Franny and pitcher Troy, who finds inspiration in a few beers. Rather than mock these eccentric players, Lund's storytelling is rooted in a gentle humor that highlights their relatable struggles and the nostalgia associated with the sport. The film invites viewers to reflect on the deeper aspects of life played out on the baseball diamond, while also featuring appearances by notable personalities like Bill Spaceman Lee. 'Eephus' opens on March 21, 2025.
Carson Lund's nostalgic home run of feature-length film debut is an underdog unto itself, a low-fi indie that's like a scrappy team that comes back in the bottom of the ninth.
Lund has played various positions himself as a critic, a cinematographer and a filmmaker. With Eephus, he strikes a tone-perfect balance, toggling between mirth and wistfulness.
Even famed Boston Red Sox pitcher Bill Spaceman Lee joins in the fun. As with most baseball games, nothing much happens in Eephus.
Lund is not looking to ridicule such characters for easy laughs, he instead focuses on their human and relatable foibles for a gentle story that touches the heart.
