Do you need to vent? About gerunds, perhaps? Or participles? About the nagging fear that your participle might actually be a gerund? Or – could it also be a clause!? REBEL WITH A CLAUSE is a hilarious, didactic and wholly entertaining journey through America with bestselling author and grammar guru Ellen Jovin. Filmed by her husband, Brandt Johnson, Ms. Jovin traverses the country one grammar pop-up table at a time, patiently engaging with America’s most burning grammatical situations. The cinematic result is part vox pop, part grammatical aside – and all courageous embrace of how what & how we say what we say creates the world in which we live (or can we end with a preposition?!).

Bonus: the filmmakers – and The Grammar Table – will be in Traverse City for the screening & Q&A! Please bring your most vexing grammatical question. Diagramming sentences encouraged; oxford commas optional. “Non-mandatory grammar quizzes” will be provided!
