Chicago –\u00a02022\u00a0Storerotica\u00a0Lubricant Company of the Year\u00a0Wicked Sensual Care\u00a0today announced that brand strategist, sex educator, and three-time\u00a0AVN\u00a0Best Actress\u00a0jessica drake\u00a0has received a 2023\u00a0AVN Mainstream Venture of the Year\u00a0nomination for her performance in\u00a0Ricky Lake\u2019s\u00a0The Answer<\/i>.<\/p>\n
A cinematic music video shot entirely on 16mm film,\u00a0The Answer<\/i>\u00a0brought together three dynamic artists: drake, genre-defying Bay Area musician\u00a0Lake, and award-winning Hip Hop mogul\u00a0Matt Zolly.\u00a0The Answer<\/i>\u00a0debuted on all platforms earlier this year via San Francisco-based\u00a0Text Me Records<\/a>. The video has since received unanimously favorable coverage in such influential industry publications and blogs as\u00a0Vents Magazine<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Thoughts Words Action<\/a>.<\/p>\n “I am so grateful and humbled to see this collaboration receive the AVN nomination for Mainstream Venture of the Year,\u201d said drake. \u201cThis was my first film project after the pandemic, and I was starving for a role I could really sink my teeth into. Once I heard the concept for the video and had the first meeting, I immediately grasped the creative potential of this undertaking.\u201d<\/p>\n Of her collaborators, drake enthused, \u201cMatt Zolly knew exactly what he wanted with every shot. Even when I wasn\u2019t on camera, watching him work was fascinating. He may have acted low-key, but his directing style and skill screamed from the rooftops. He assembled the perfect team, and I\u2019m grateful to have been a part of it. And working alongside Ricky was amazing. As an artist, he has such a talent for expressing himself, and in person he was no different. He was a dream to work with – funny, kind, creative, and very willing. I love that in a scene partner – and our steamier scenes, that were released only as NFTs – really showcased our chemistry.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIn taking on this project, I was a little nervous about who would play Ricky’s love interest,” said director Zolly, whose previous video credits include collaborations with\u00a0Rosalia, Lil Yachty, Lil Nas X, and\u00a0Travis Scott. “I really liked the idea of combining an innocent stoner dude from the city with a wealthy, attractive older woman from the suburbs, but I knew our lead would really have to fit the bill. \u00a0Upon meeting jessica I was immediately impressed with her professionalism. jessica lent herself to the production entirely and even incorporated some of her own wardrobe to help bring the character to life.”<\/p>\n The song’s April 8th release was accompanied by a series of blockchain-based marketing initiatives, including exclusive NFT releases featuring drake. True to her humanitarian calling, she donated her share of the NFT sales to\u00a0Feed The Streets<\/a>, a community-based mutual aid organization that collects donated food, hygiene products, clothing, and educational items. Founded in Southern California (where drake is Vice President of the Los Angeles chapter),\u00a0Feed The Streets\u00a0is expanding its outreach with weekly support drives, a New York City chapter, and initiatives designed to create bonds with underserved communities throughout the nation.<\/p>\n \u201cThis was the first NFT I’ve been involved in,\u201d said drake of the initiative. \u201cI was thrilled to give fans this unique opportunity to get a special piece of me while helping out a great cause.\u201d<\/p>\n Now in its fortieth year, the AVN Awards Show is returning to the Las Vegas Strip January \u00a07, 2023 at a new location,\u00a0Resorts World Las Vegas. In a prepared statement, the editorial staff of AVN announced, “the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo will set the stage for the most anticipated event in adult – the AVN Awards Show. In what has become the adult industry\u2019s longest standing, most iconic tradition, the AVN Awards will once again recognize outstanding achievements in areas of production, retail, and product innovations in the past year.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chicago –\u00a02022\u00a0Storerotica\u00a0Lubricant Company of the Year\u00a0Wicked Sensual Care\u00a0today announced that brand strategist, sex educator, and three-time\u00a0AVN\u00a0Best Actress\u00a0jessica drake\u00a0has received a 2023\u00a0AVN Mainstream Venture of the Year\u00a0nomination for her performance in\u00a0Ricky Lake\u2019s\u00a0The Answer.
