The video featured Plaza and a number of iconic actresses - Marcia Gay Harden, Christina Ricci, Roseanna Arquette and Marissa Tomei, who are gathered on the 'unholiest of afternoons' to, 'conjure the film independent spirit.'
'Through this ancient ritual, we shall reject commercial cinema and pledge our souls to the pursuit of dangerous art,' Plaza said.
