About fuconomy: We are a documentary filmmaker, an author, a teacher, a scientist, a statistician, a project manager, a marketing manager, a business owner and an actress. As the pandemic affected our industries and sidelined our lives, we watched the national narrative turn political and people’s personal struggles get lost in the noise of the 24-hour news cycle. We seldom felt that our experiences were being captured and, as we talked to more people, we realized we were not alone.

If the global COVID-19 pandemic was a test, then the United States is failing it. We are in the middle of a historic health crisis and are walking off the edge of an economic cliff; yet, much of America carries on as if life were normal. Fuconomy’s goal is to bring the struggles of the pandemic into focus by curating stories from the people most affected by it. We provide a safe space for people to share their experiences and offer their support during these unprecedented times. The pandemic and its impact have proven to be too complex for any single lens. Our philosophy is to create a new collaborative way to tell the broader story so we can all understand it and our nation better.
