Work Gazawood
Gazawood
A curated video archive that has to move fast, stay searchable, and keep sensitive material behind hard boundaries — without slowing the people who publish it.
The problem was not a website.
Gazawood is an online archive monitoring and analyzing staged and propagandistic Gaza media — videos, investigations, timelines, and primary sources that need to stay citable and findable.
The owners of @GAZAWOOD1 needed more than a marketing page: a publishing system that could ingest video at volume, filter across many taxonomies, power donations and a documentary brand, and isolate material that must never sit next to the public catalog by accident.
- Volume Video-first catalog with rich filtering across a large library.
- Sensitivity Some material must stay isolated from the public catalog — by design, not by a soft hide.
- Continuity Editors keep shipping while the stack is maintained — not a one-shot launch.
One archive. Two apps. Clear jobs.
A public site for visitors and a CMS for editors — backed by a shared database, streaming delivery, and search that stays fast as the catalog grows.
CMS
Payload
The place editors publish, organize, and run day-to-day catalog work — without opening a ticket for every change.
Media
Streaming CDN
Video and image delivery at scale. The CMS holds metadata and references — not the media files themselves.
Search
Catalog search
Fast find across a growing library, with filtered browsing that stays usable as volume climbs.
Sensitive material gets its own boundary.
Harder material does not sit behind a soft hide on the main site. It lives on a separate surface with stricter rules than the public catalog — architectural isolation, not a click-through.
What shipped — and stays in production.
- Public archive Filterable video catalog built for a large, growing library.
- Long-form + spotlight Articles and curated news surfaces that sit beside the video system.
- Publishing tools Editor workflows so the team is not stuck updating the archive one item at a time.
- Donations Giving flows for projects that need funding without bolting on a third-party widget.
- Documentary promo Film-facing surfaces for How to Film a War and related launches.
- Ongoing maintain Still maintained after launch — one studio, same owners.
…a content system that can handle sensitive material without slowing the team down.
Built and maintained for the people running the archive — not handed off after the first deploy.
