Winner of the Documentary Feature Audience Award at Boston’s 2025 Independent Film Festival and Best Feature Audience Award at San Francisco’s 2025 Documentary Festival, Rebel with a Clause follows Ellen Jovin, who after setting up a “Grammar Table” on a Manhattan sidewalk, embarks on a road trip, visiting all 50 states, to share a laugh, settle disputes and talk about people’s grammar insecurities. Shot by her filmmaker husband, Brandt Johnson, the story transcends grammar and attempts to answer the question: “How can we all get along?” Find out. Come for the grammar. Stay for the humanity.
