The Green Mountain Film Festival Presents: Eephus

Carson Lund’s directorial debut, Eephus revolves around the final game of a dissolving adult recreational baseball league. A wry comedy narrated by cinema legend Frederick Wiseman, Eephus ruminates on aging, mortality, and feeling lost in a place you’ve lived your entire life—served with misplaced machismo and good ol’ fashioned tomfoolery. The film feels deeply familiar while completely sidestepping genre cliches. There’s no “good team” vs “bad team,” in Eephus everyone is their own kind of underdog. Distinctly New England in its philosophies as much as its attitude; Eephus will surely satisfy hardcore cineastes and casual film fans alike.
