REBEL WITH A CLAUSE with Ellen Jovin & Brandt Johnson
SEP 2 → SEP 29, 2025

REBEL WITH A CLAUSE filmmaker BRANDT JOHNSON and star ELLEN JOVIN will visit The Ross on Monday, September 29 to set up Ellen’s travelling Grammar Table and join the audience for a discussion following the 7:30pm opening night screening of their film. Presented by Friends of The Ross and the Norman A. Geske Cinema Showcase, with generous support from Maureen and Ken Hake.

BRANDT JOHNSON is the director, producer, cinematographer, and editor of the docu-comedy ‘Rebel with a Clause’ — and he is married to the film’s subject, Ellen Jovin. Before this project, he wrote and produced several plays and a comedy web series.

ELLEN JOVIN is the founder of a traveling pop-up grammar advice stand known as the Grammar Table. She is the author of the 2022 national bestseller Rebel with a Clause and has answered the grammar questions of total strangers on the streets of all 50 states (including a stop in Red Cloud, Nebraska).


Monday, September 29 – 7:30 p.m.

One fall day, Ellen Jovin set up a folding table on a Manhattan sidewalk with a homemade sign that said “Grammar Table.” Right away, passersby began excitedly asking questions, telling stories, and filing complaints. What happened next is the stuff of grammar legend. More info…
