Two recreational baseball teams – the ‘River Dogs’ and ‘Adler’s Paint’ – have been meeting on their New England field on Sunday afternoons for longer than anyone can remember. As an imminent construction project looms over their beloved baseball field, they face off one last time.

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 pitch, Eephus is both a ribald comedy for the baseball connoisseur and a movie for anyone who’s ever lamented their community slipping away.

Director: Carson Lund (US 2025) 98 min.
