FEMALE Festival Best Scene Reading: Ready to Mingle, by Olivia Belluck
BEST SCENE SCREENPLAY READINGS • 4m 49s
Ready to Mingle follows Dr. Millie Ward, a defensive self-help columnist for the clickbait-dependent news site Nova Press. Millie thrives on applying her analytical mind to patients she cannot see, snuggled in sweaters that ensure that no one can ever see her. After a lifetime of being told she would never be enough because of her weight and her harsh disposition, she has resigned herself to living on the sidelines of everyone else’s fairy tale. That is until she is needed at the last minute to cover Nova’s behind-the-scenes column for "Ready to Mingle’s" 25th season. "Ready to Mingle" prides itself on using its famed algorithm to produce 5 perfect couples in just 10 weeks, with one being voted as “Most Likely to Last.” But as Millie immerses herself on-set, questions are raised about the psychological implications of such a show, both on its lovers and society itself. Soon Millie finds herself on a mission to dismantle the toxic fantasy "Ready to Mingle" has cultivated, to change the math, to prove that love doesn’t always follow a pattern.
