Hollie Jessica is a North East–born and bred creative with seventeen years of experience in acting, dance, and musical theatre. Her journey on stage sparked a passion for teaching and coaching, inspiring her to pass on her knowledge to the next generation of creatives — keeping the artistic flame alive in Teesside and beyond, and reminding us never to lose hope.
In 2022 and 2023, Hollie worked closely with the acclaimed Adam Morley on the smash-hit musical STEEL & IRON — first as stage manager and swing, then as company manager during its following year’s run.
Today, Hollie is stepping into the modelling scene with a strong portfolio and fresh creative energy. Alongside providing promotional content creation for a growing portfolio of clients.
After training under Nova Mundi Studios as a production assistant, Hollie launched StoneGaze Media (https://www.stonegazemedia.com/), a female-run production company dedicated to giving “mice the roar of tigers.” Its mission is to amplify the voices of women, northern artists, working-class talent, and members of disabled and neurodivergent communities, breaking down barriers to access in the arts.
With a background in performance and a fire for truth-telling, Hollie founded StoneGaze to carve out space for stories that rarely see the light — tales that unsettle, empower, and reflect the raw edge of human experience. StoneGaze is a home for fearless art, a place where work doesn’t just speak — it stares back.
StoneGaze’s debut projects, KNOCKOUT and ZOMBIE, are set to launch soon — and they’re ready to shake the industry.
