Скачать или смотреть Carson Lund just made one of the best baseball movies of all time - Bullseye with Jesse Thorn

This week on Bullseye, we talk to Carson Lund, director of the new slice-of-life baseball film, Eephus. It's set in a small New England town. It's the 90s, and it takes place over the course of one day. Two rec league baseball teams meet up to play a game in a place called Soldier's Field. This field will be torn down the next day to make way for a public middle school. So, it's the last game on the field, and for some of the older players, it's likely their last game ever. It’s a stunning film, even a bit sad. Baseball can burn slowly. To quote one of the players from the film: One moment, you're looking around for something to happen and then - poof - it's over.

Carson Lund talks to Bullseye about representing downtime in baseball, how precious baseball season is in New England, and rejecting the grand finale you might expect in a movie about a sport.
