I Lived on Parker Avenue is an
inspiring new short documentary that follows the dramatic cross-country reunion between then Louisiana college student David Scotton and his Indiana-based birth-parents Melissa and Brian, who hadn’t seen him since the day he was born. The film explores the life stories of David, Melissa, Brian and David’s parents, Susan and Jimmy.
The film is scheduled to be released in March, and its trailer has been viewed more than 344,000 times online at
ILivedOnParkerAve.com .
Until its March 8 online release, the production team continues to host pre-release screenings of the short documentary, complete with Q&A sessions hosted by Scotton, Executive Producer Benjamin Clapper and Director Philip Braun III.
The Docuslate Film Festival will be the first time the documentary has been shown in that setting.
“I cannot wait for my story as told by
I Lived on Parker Avenue to be shared in Los Angeles,” said Scotton. “My family and I are so thankful for the gift of adoption, and it is our hope that viewers across the nation will be inspired by I Lived on Parker Avenue’s powerful message.”
