Eephus
A wry and lovely baseball movie that pitches slowballs of quiet wisdom.
-- Variety
Eephus
As an imminent construction project looms over their beloved baseball field, two New England recreational teams play ball for the last time. As day turns to night and innings bleed together, the players chat, laugh, and squabble as they face the uncertainty of a new era. Named for a rare curveball, Carson Lund’s poignant comedy is an ode to sports, community, and the passage of time.
