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. These middle-aged sportsmen can’t run as fast
as they used to or connect as reliably with a pitch, but their vigorous
appetite for socializing, squabbling, and busting chops remains undiminished.
After the know-nothing county board opts to raze the baseball diamond to make
way for a school, the teams meet for one final game at their beloved Soldier’s
Field, with girlfriends, kids, and local hooligans as intermittent spectators.
As day turns to night and innings bleed together, the players face the
uncertainty of a new era. Lovingly laid in a vanished Massachusetts of the
mid-1990s, 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, Eephus is both a ribald comedy for
the baseball connoisseur and a movie for anyone who’s ever lamented their
community slipping away. (USA, 2024, 98

Brendan “Crash” Burt
a garden variety actor/writer/comedian/nobody. If the name “Crash” is attached
to a given project he is extremely invested in it on a personal level. Because
that’s what his friends call him. He really likes Baseball, Guitars, Books
& Daydreaming.
Greg Tango is a
New York City-based director of photography. His love for filmmaking started at
a young age filming his friends skateboarding and making short films. This
turned into a life-long pursuit to evoke emotions with the moving image.
Outside of his narrative work on Eephus, Greg specializes in tabletop
commercial cinematographer. He utilizes high frame rate shooting, robot motion
control, and detailed lighting to create stunning visuals. When not on set Greg
can be found on the side of a mountain rock climbing or fishing with his dog
Cheddar.
