Arca (2022) says that: “As well as her extensive work as an editor, Chicón was also a fundamental member of social organisations that group together audiovisual workers, of the feminist movement and of the Latin community in Portland and Main where she currently lives.”
I dared to sit down and check what my boss had done with the script of the commercial. On the side it said: image-sound. He had made a mark that signified the need of a cut with a pencil, I made the cut and spliced it together. In that moment my boss arrived, and I stood quietly as if I had not done anything, then he looked it over and realised that I had made the cut. He looked at me and said: finish it. So, I started to follow the script and the sequence of images, with the audio as a guide. By the end of the month, I had become the editing manager.
Interview with Victoria Chicón carried out by Sara Lucía Guerrero, Isabel Seguí and Lorena Best during the ‘Usted de nuevo senorita’( 2021) project.
