"The new Omnes feature, "Eephus," directed by Carson Lund, uniquely emphasizes baseball as the focal point, providing a human element through the closing moments of a historic game."
"Set in the 1990s, "Eephus" captures the last game at a beloved baseball diamond, reflecting on themes of nostalgia and finality in the lives of its players."
Omnes Films, an independent film collective, has created a niche with its house style of microdramas focused on finality. Their latest feature, "Eephus," directed by Carson Lund, centers on the last baseball game played at a diamond slated for demolition in a 1990s New England town. Unlike typical baseball movies, which often prioritize off-field drama, Lund's film places the game at the heart of the narrative, showcasing how it intertwines with the personal stories of the players, thus emphasizing the emotional weight of goodbyes and cherished memories.
