Summary
Filmmaker Carson Lund is bringing his nostalgic vision to life with “The Pinsetter,” a new movie set in a historic New England candlepin alley, capturing the rise and fall of a beloved local business from 1994 to 2004. Inspired by his childhood memories of Leda Lanes in Nashua — now closed — Lund transformed Concord’s Boutwells Bowling Center into a vivid 1990s time capsule, preserving its original charm while adding cinematic authenticity. The film explores the struggles of small businesses in a changing world, mirroring the unpredictable, high-stakes nature of candlepin bowling itself. Though Boutwells temporarily shut down for filming, it’s set to reopen this summer, ready to welcome back its loyal community. “The Pinsetter” aims for a festival premiere next summer, with a wider release to follow.
