A Curve Ball Called EEPHUS: Director Carson Lund on His Cannes-Honored Debut Film About Baseball

🎧 Inside the Arthouse: Carson Lund on EEPHUS – A Baseball Film About Time, Change, and Camaraderie 🎬 Distributed by @MusicBoxFilms When is a baseball movie more than just a baseball movie? In his lyrical and deeply American debut, Carson Lund’s EEPHUS explores themes of friendship, resistance to change, and the quiet beauty of fading traditions. Named after the famously slow and unpredictable Eephus pitch, this film isn’t just for baseball lovers—it’s for anyone who’s watched their hometown evolve, for better or worse. Set in suburban New Hampshire, and infused with New England's stubbornly independent spirit, EEPHUS captures the rhythms of small-town America through a game, a team, and a summer afternoon. Premiering at Director’s Fortnight at Cannes, and now opening in select U.S. theaters via Music Box Films, EEPHUS is a nostalgic, slow-burning reflection on time, gentrification, and the bonds that hold communities together. 🎙️ Join us for a conversation with director Carson Lund as he shares the inspiration behind EEPHUS, the challenges of working with non-traditional storytelling, and why baseball remains a cinematic gateway into the American psyche.
