I Lived on Parker Avenue

Adopted at birth and raised in Louisiana, David Scotton is on a journey to Indiana to meet the birth parents he’s never known. His tattooed birth mother, Melissa, and reserved birth father, Brian, anxiously wait for him, concerned David will reject them for decisions they made before he was born. I Lived on Parker Ave. is a short documentary about a mother’s agony in choosing what’s best, the joy of a couple starting a family, and young man’s search for where his life began.

Director Biography - Philip Braun

While pursuing a print journalism degree and before stepping behind the camera, Philip wrote obituaries at The Times-Picayune newspaper in New Orleans.

He graduated at the top of the communications school at Loyola University New Orleans but soon felt more attracted to creating stories through images. An internship at a PBS station and apprenticeship with a local director fueled Philip's interest in cinematography.

He cut his teeth on small commercial and non-profit videos before focusing on larger educational projects. I Lived on Parker Ave. is his documentary debut.
