Brandt Johnson | USA | 2025 | 86m
Author Ellen Jovin and director Brandt Johnson attending!

Come hang out with the filmmaker and film’s subject before the show! Ellen Jovin, will be at her internationally acclaimed Grammar Table to answer your most pressing grammar questions, discuss interesting differences across Englishes, and resolve family grammar disputes. After the movie, please stick around for a Q&A with Brandt and Ellen, followed by a book signing of Ellen’s grammar bestseller.

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.

Ellen and her filmmaker husband, Brandt Johnson, took the table on the road, visiting all 50 states as Brandt shot the grammar action. But this story transcends grammar. It’s the story of an epic quest in a divided time to bring us all closer together.

“Grammar fans flock to a film about participles and gerunds.” – The New York Times
