Olissa began her career in casting in Germany, back in 2008, where she mainly worked as a Casting Director in TV, working with Constantin Entertainment. In 2016 Olissa met casting director Jeremy Zimmerman and worked as his Casting Assistant, working on several film projects with him. Since then Olissa has worked with highly respected casting directors. She was Casting Assistant to Kharmel Cochrane for commercials and TV/Film Projects, Casting Associate to Theo Park and until March 2020 she was working as Casting Associate for Amy Hubbard. Olissa is currently working as casting associate at Fiona Weir Casting. Some of her recent casting credits include ‘Ted Lasso’ (Apple TV), ‘Brassic’ (SKY), ‘We Are Who We Are’ (HBO) and Criminal UK (Netflix). Today she chats to Crossing the Line about all things casting - from how many audition self tapes she watches, to her own career aspirations. As always, stay tuned for the classic question: What movie are you ashamed of never seeing?
