Introduction and Post Screening Talkback with Ellen Jovin and Brandt JohnsonGet ready for a delightful journey where punctuation meets personality in Rebel with a Clause, a heartwarming docu-comedy that transforms grammar into an engaging adventure. Directed by Brandt Johnson and starring his wife, grammarian Ellen Jovin, this 85-minute film chronicles their cross-country expedition with the “Grammar Table,” a pop-up stand where Ellen offers impromptu grammar advice to curious passersby across all 50 states.
From bustling city streets to serene mountain towns, Ellen engages with individuals from diverse backgrounds, addressing their linguistic queries and concerns. Whether it’s the perplexing Oxford comma, the elusive “whom,” or the dreaded semicolon, Ellen’s approachable demeanor and insightful explanations make grammar accessible and entertaining.
And yes Rebel with a Clause features a stop right here in Bozeman! Come see Ellen discuss punctuation with a local at the Bozeman Public Library. Maybe it’s someone you know.
But this film is more than just a grammar lesson; it’s a celebration of communication and connection. In an era marked by division, Rebel with a Clause showcases how language can bridge gaps and foster understanding. As Ellen listens to stories and settles debates, she highlights the shared human experience behind our words.
