“Grammar fans flock to a film about participles and gerunds.
– The New York Times
Calling all grammar geeks!
A grammar guru takes her pop-up grammar advice stand on an epic road trip across all 50 states to show that comma fights can bring us closer together in a divided time.
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.
Media outlets across the country celebrated the adventures of the Grammar Table in over 100 print, radio, and television stories.
People from every imaginable background visited the table to share a laugh, settle disputes, and talk about their grammar insecurities.
These conversations took place in small towns and big cities, by bookstores and coffee shops, on beaches and mountainsides.
But this story transcends grammar. It’s the story of an epic quest to bring us all closer together. In a time of social and political division, the Grammar Table is a place of unity and connection. The conversations at the table help answer the question “How can we all get along?”
Come for the grammar. Stay for the humanity.
