Cruising around Barcelona at Primavera Sound festival, filmmaker Iggy LDN takes a much needed break from his busy production schedule, whilst also finding the time to dye his hair orange.

Where are you in these photos and what are you doing? 
Barcelona, Spain. I was attending Primavera Sound festival with a couple of mates. It was pretty wild - I even dyed my hair.

Where are you originally from?
Born and raised in East London, Newham, but I tell people I’m from Wakanda. 

Describe yourself in three words
Enigmatic, patient, dreamer.

How would you sum up what you do in a sentence?
The process of taking weird ideas from my head and formatting them in a way that humans can make sense of.

What did you want to be when you were growing up?
I wanted to be so many different things when I was younger, one being a spy.

How did you get into filmmaking? 
I sort of stumbled into it really. Long story short, I wrote a short piece that I turned into a film in 2016 and I’ve been making films ever since.

Spending time with my mate, Vicky Grout. We’re both really busy so hanging out in Barcelona felt like a movie.
