Twilightish has a great new interview with the lovely Judi Shekoni who will be playing Zafrina of the Amazon coven in Breaking Dawn. Here Judi describes her experience filming Breaking Dawn, her previous days as a Twilighter and her favorite moment from her time filming. Read more below:

Twilightish: The Famous Fandom Question: Did you read the books or see the movies before you went for the part of Zafrina? If so, were you a fan of the series before?

Judi: I was already a big fan of Twilight. Waited for each book to be released, and read all four years ago. I knew about the project (film). I was a fan from the beginning when Kristen was announced as Bella. I love the series.

Twilightish: Zafrina is part of the Amazon clan with her two sisters, did you guys find instant chemistry on set?

Judi: I spent a lot of time working with Tracey Heggins (Senna), people even thought we were sisters in real life! We hung out in hotel rooms, went to lunch and dinner with each other, became inseparable during the course of filming. We still call or speak with each other now, we definitely bonded really well! Being part of a coven made you part of a team.

Twilightish: Zafrina possesses a special power, would you want her power in real life?

Judi: Everyone wants a power. I’d like to have her power in real life. It’s not something everyone can see outside of the person she’s doing it to.

Twilightish: Do you have a favorite moment from your time on set? Either on camera or off?

Judi: Squamish was my favorite place to shoot, it was beautiful outdoors. My best friend actually came to see me during the filming, she said “WOW it looks just like you’d imagine Forks. Peaceful. Tranquil.

Thanks to lovely Twilight Examiner, we have a great new interview today with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn star Judi Shekoni, who plays the role of Amazon Coven member Zafrina in the highly anticipated last installments in the Twilight Saga film franchise. In the new interview Judi discusses being a fan of the books prior to being cast, how her experience has been with director Bill Condon, bonding with cast members like Tracey Heggins and Amadou Ly, and much more. Check out a glimpse below:

Did being a fan make auditioning for the role that much more intimidating or was it easier because you had confidence in your knowledge of the story?
I felt more confident than usual because of my knowledge of the story and the characters; Twilight has a definite feel and style to it that would be hard to pick up from one scene. I felt I was already inside the world and had lived the lives so I definitely felt I had a good advantage!

How has your experience been working with Bill Condon?
He is so amazing, such a kind, considerate, and intelligent man. I have learned so much from him, and it has been one of the highlights of working on this film. His attention to detail is incredible and I am lucky to have him working on this film as he has such a strong vision for the Amazons so we had a lot to play and got to take some risks. He also has a great sense of humor and is not easily stressed so it was a really fun set to work on - laughing was permitted - so we took advantage of it!

Summit describes the Amazons as follows:

Among the oldest vampires in the world, Senna and Zafrina are descendants of an ancient Amazonian tribe. They have lived outside of civilization for centuries and therefore make no attempt to keep up a human facade. Though they drink human blood, the Amazons have long been allies of Carlisle.
