What's my story?

My background is in factual television: two decades of distinctive, innovative filmmaking across British and American broadcasting. I've produced wildlife epics for the BBC Natural History Unit, National Geographic and Sky Nature, directed six episodes of global hit show River Monsters over four seasons — including three feature-length specials that broke viewing records — and headed up the creative team that produced the BAFTA-nominated MOON: Nature's Secret Force, Sky's biggest ever natural history commission.

Along the way I've interviewed David Attenborough and Princess Anne, filmed across the world from Arabia to Zambia, and led creative teams producing work ranging from a few thousand pounds to several million. Every production is its own mission: a complex, high-stakes operation requiring vision, leadership, precise budgeting and the ability to bring the best out of people under pressure.

What I've learned — and what I now bring to consultancy and coaching — is that the skills which make great television are the same ones that make great organisations, whatever their size, and unlock great potential in individuals:

I'm Dominic Weston — a Narrative Consultant, Coach and Facilitator with over two decades of experience helping people find, shape and tell the stories that matter.

  • The ability to find the story that matters

  • To shape it with clarity and purpose

  • To communicate it in a way that moves people

I've launched Pericline to bring these same skills — finding the story, shaping it, and telling it well — to organisations and individuals beyond the world of television.

That includes charities and non-profits shaping their story for funders and communities, and it includes coaching: sometimes with people I've already come to know through that consultancy or facilitation work, growing into a role that's new to them; sometimes with people arriving fresh, often creative professionals standing at their own turning point — the kind I once stood at myself.

These days, home is Shepton Mallet, in the heart of Somerset — and it's from there I work with clients across Bath, Bristol and the South West, in person or online.

What it's like working with me...

During my Wildlife Documentary Production Master's degree, I took part in a mentoring programme, where Dominic supported me in developing my goals in wildlife filmmaking. Over the course of 10 months, we had regular sessions talking about my progress and evolving projects.

From the very beginning he was knowledgeable, encouraging, generous with expert advice and honest feedback. His guidance helped me improve my work, grow in confidence, and develop a much stronger understanding of the wildlife film industry.
