Stars: Asya Meadows, Arlene Arnone Bibbs, Lisa Wilcox, Michael Hargrove | Written and Directed by Danny Villanueva Jr.
What Happened to Dorothy Bell?, the second feature from writer/director Danny Villanueva Jr. is, on its face, just another found footage/screenlife film about an investigation into the paranormal gone wrong.

As a child, Ozzy Grey (Asya Meadows; Hyde Park) suffered a traumatic injury at the hands, and blade, of her grandmother Dorothy Bell. It was the final act in her transformation from beloved librarian to part of an urban legend about an evil presence haunting the library. There’s even a picture of what is allegedly her ghost in the building.
She repressed the memories of the event, and her family told her the wounds...
