This Saturday night at the Downtown Independent there will be a special anthology screening of the 2009 video and film work by The Masses, a film production collective started by director Matthew Amado, Jon Ramos and the late Heath Ledger. Work featuring artists such as Modest Mouse, Daedalus, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, the Dodos and many others will screened, along with a new short directed by actress-singer Ann Magnuson, who described her film as being about “a time-traveling hooker who meets up with the spirit of Gram Parsons (played by Grant Leuchtner) in Joshua Tree.”

After the screening Magnuson will perform a new spoken word piece backed by Dublab.

Downtown Independent, 251 S. Main St., Los Angeles.
Saturday, Nov. 14, 8 p.m., $10.
