Rebel With a Clause: Screening & Meet the Filmmaker

As part of its ART 11 Film Series, the Art Theatre will host a screening of Rebel With A Clause (2025) plus a Q&A with Director Brandt Johnson and author Ellen Jovin, the film's subject.

A grammar guru takes her pop-up grammar advice stand on a rollicking road trip across all 50 states to show that comma fights can bring us closer together in a divided time.

Ellen will set up her acclaimed Grammar Table at the theater 45 minutes before showtime to answer your most pressing grammar questions, resolve long-standing family grammar disputes, and take complaints. After the screening, enjoy a Q&A with Brandt and Ellen, followed by a book-signing of Ellen’s national bestseller.

Art 11 Series: Presenting the best in recently acclaimed documentary and international cinema to the Art's historic screen. These screenings are held on select Saturdays and Sundays at 11AM. Speakers and Q&A’s presented during select screenings.

Supported in part by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Department of Arts and Culture as well as the Arts Council of Long Beach, the City of Long Beach, and Port of Long Beach.
