Sedona, AZ The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the one-night-only Sedona premiere of “Rebel with a Clause” on Wednesday, Sept. 24 — National Punctuation Day — at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres.
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.
“When my wife, Ellen Jovin, first started setting up her Grammar Table, I would sit nearby and watch the hilarious and heartfelt interactions she had with people from every imaginable background,” said director Brandt Johnson. “In a time of social and political division, the Grammar Table was a place of unity and connection. I needed to share with the world what I was witnessing, so I began filming.”
“Rebel with a Clause” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres on Wednesday, Sept. 24 at 4:00 and 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona.
