Film Synopsis:
One fall day in 2018, 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 to bring us closer together in a divided time.

Come for the grammar. Stay for the humanity.
