Blacked Out – The Manic Boys And Girls Club
Avery was the lead actress in The Manic Boys And Girls Clubs’ debut music video for “Blacked Out”. Shot in the summer of 2021, Avery played the lead actress in the music video where she is seen reliving the same night in three different ways due to “blacking out” and not remembering what really happened. Completely sober, Avery’s acting skills came in handy with this production where she had to play the state of being completely black-out drunk. The music video is now LIVE on Youtube.
