Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Douglas

Eephus is a 2024 sports film directed by Carson Lund, in his feature directing debut, and co-written with Michael Basta and Nate Fisher. Starring Keith William Richards in his first lead role, it follows the final game of an amateur New England baseball league before their stadium is demolished.

Production

Eephus was filmed on location at Soldiers Field in Douglas, Massachusetts. While the film's story centers on this real-life baseball field, the plot concerning the demolition of the field and the construction of a school was fictional. Lund cited Goodbye, Dragon Inn as an influence on the film's story.

Lund co-wrote the screenplay for Eephus with Michael Basta and Nate Fisher. Due to his experience as a director of photography, Lund had hoped to serve as cinematographer on the film, but chose Greg Tango for the role when this proved impractical.

Eephus was co-produced by members of Chapo Trap House, a prominent left-wing podcast known for its political commentary. Two of its hosts, Will Menaker and Amber A'lee Frost, have voice acting roles in the film.
