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."

Make Plans Now to March for Life in Louisiana!
Will you march with us in 2018 and take a stand for life? There will be three Louisiana Life March events in Louisiana in 2018, and one is sure to be close to you.
 Due to ongoing construction in a number of areas of downtown Baton Rouge, the Life March South will have a new route this year. The event will begin in the grassy area outside the State Capitol near Spanish Town Road and N. 4th Street at 10 a.m., then proceed south on N. 4th Street, west on North Boulevard, and south on River Road to the Levee Green near the U.S.S. Kidd. A formal program will be held at the Levee Stage, beginning approximately at 11 a.m.
The Louisiana Life March North will follow the same route as in previous years, beginning at 10 a.m. at Bossier City's Boardwalk and proceeding across the Texas Street Bridge to Shreveport's Festival Plaza, where a program will be held.
The Louisiana Life March CENLA will begin on the grounds of Louisiana College in Pineville at 10 a.m. The 1.6-mile march will go down Main Street toward the Jackson Street Bridge, cross the bridge and conclude at the amphitheater on the Alexandria side of the Red River, where a program will be held.
The 2018 Life March theme is "Every Life Deserves a Lifetime." All marches begin at 10 a.m. and are scheduled to end at noon. Speakers will be announced at a later date.
