Over a decade documenting Tulsa’s history as it happens

The John Hope Franklin Center for Reconciliation carries one of Tulsa’s most important stories. For more than ten years, they’ve trusted Intent Productions to capture their symposiums, events, and message, and to treat that trust with the weight it deserves.

The challenge

An institution like the Franklin Center doesn’t get a second take on history. Symposium speakers, commemorations, and community events happen once. They needed a production partner who could capture live moments reliably, serve the room without disrupting it, and turn that footage into films and marketing content that honor the mission.

What we do for them

We’ve been behind the camera at the Center’s symposiums and events for over a decade: multi-camera live coverage, run-of-show AV support, edited films, and short-form marketing content cut from the archive we’ve built together. Our footage has gone on to appear in independent documentary work, because when you document something for ten years, the archive itself becomes an asset.

The results

More than ten years of symposiums, keynotes, and commemorations captured without a do-over, because live history doesn’t offer one. That track record is the result. The archive we’ve built together keeps working for the Center: keynote films they share and reuse, short-form content cut for their channels, and symposium footage that has gone on to appear in independent documentary work.

What this means for you

If your organization runs events, programming, or moments that can’t be reshot, this is the question to ask any production company: who has trusted you with something irreplaceable, and for how long? Institutions keep the same video partner for a decade only when the footage comes back right every single time. That’s the standard we’ll bring to your first project, because we plan on your tenth.
