Judi Shekoni’s New Interview With Team-Twilight!

Source Via @teamtwilighters Via @bellasdiary.

Team-Twilight: Your character has a lot of interaction with Renesmee. Have you spent much time with Mackenzie [Foy]? 

JS: I have, yeah, and she’s so lovely, such an amazing child. Like when I have children, I want them to be like her, just so well brought up. And that’s pretty much the consensus of everywhere and everyone, just saying what a well brought up, polite girl that she is. And very mature, as well, for her age. She’s super lovely, and it’s great, the relationship that they [Zafrina and Renesmee] have in the book is very strong and powerful and I hope that it carries across on screen. 

TT: How much time did you spend in Baton Rouge? 

JS: Wow, I spent about four months. 

TT: It’s funny, because reading the cast’s Twitter updates, it kind of seems a bit like summer camp. Was that the kind of experience it was? It is just so many people working every single day together. I am curious what that was like. 

JS: It must have been really interesting for you guys reading all the Twitter. That makes me realize that I know only what I write, really. But if you seem them all together, you probably have a better idea of what it was like for everyone than me, who was in the middle of it. It was really to see that everyone’s opinions of what went on kind of built up a true picture. I think it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity where I got to be with a group of like-minded individuals. Everyone around about the same age. Everyone on the same journey together. And also, all of us doing an interesting, cool film. We aren’t doing one where I’m pregnant and my baby’s ill,and it’s not something that is like torturous to shoot, and super highly emotional. It was one about relationships and we kind of felt like that by bonding with each other we were adding to the film.

@TwiExaminer's Exclusive: Judi Shekoni (@JudiShekoni) speaks up about 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn'

Hey Everyone!
Greetings from Pakistan :)

Thanks to @TwiExaminer

Last October, Twilight fans were presented with a range of new cast members who would portray the varying new coven vampire characters brought forth by Breaking Dawn. One of the most anticipated of those casting announcements was for the unique role of "Zafrina," the Amazonian Coven vampire who can project visual illusions into the minds of her subjects.
The one chosen for that role was Judi Shekoni, who hails from the U.K. Shekoni has been a working actress for more than a decade, and she is one of the more enthusiastic new cast members for The Twilight Saga, as she was, prior to becoming "Zafrina," a big fan of the series.
Below is an exclusive interview with Shekoni about the Twilight series and more.

• You were a fan of the Twilight series before you got the role of Zafrina in Breaking Dawn, so when you read the series, did you picture yourself as any of the characters?

Yep, I was a fan. Well, when you read a book you always see yourself as being the character that is telling the story so I guess I lived all the books as Bella, but thinking about it I would have made a very strange and unusual Bella!

• 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!

Large sinks its teeth into Manchester born Twilight star Judi Shekoni

Local Manchester, England girl Judi Shekoni made her name as bad girl Precious in Eastenders before moving out to Hollywood to pursue a career on the big screen. Her most recent role sees her playing the role of Amazonian vampire Zafrina in the fourth Twilight instalment, Breaking Dawn. Large Manchester caught up with the Gorton girl to talk about life in LA and working with RPattz on location in Canada.

You’re currently filming for Twilight: Breaking Dawn, playing Amazonian vampire Zafrina – were you a fan of the franchise before securing the role?

Absolutely. I read the first two books when I was on a cruise around the Bahamas with my friend Jenny. I tend not to read fiction but I got to the stage of boredom that I would have tried anything. At first, it seemed a bit weird and I remember thinking ‘I don’t understand, it’s all about kids’, but the more I read, the more hooked I was. At one point, I was like get me off this ship I need to go buy the next book. When the first film was released, me and my friends all booked tickets in advance and we just adored it.

It’s taken on element of the surreal now because just the other day I was stood in the Cullen house, looking at their book shelf thinking as if I’m here!

What has it been like working with the cast?

Everyone has been super nice, there’s an atmosphere of family. Spending time with everyone has been great, Rob (Pattinson) is such a laugh and it’s been an enjoyable experience. There’s a mix of nationalities here, and the Canadians are a lot like the Brits with their humour. Sometimes you can join a project like this and be met by a few prima-donnas, but that couldn’t be further from the truth here. All us newcomers are welcomed like we’ve been involved since the beginnings. It helps that we’re in the most beautiful hotel. It’s like a network of private mini lodges; I’ve even got my own fireplace!

Are you Team Edward or Jacob?

I’d have to say Team Edward. Being a fan of the books, it’s hard not to fall for him; he is the dream man we’re all looking for.

Are you ready for the influx of media attention you’re no doubt going to receive for being part of the Twilight Saga?

It’s been crazy already. Fans seem to know where we are before we do, and are always waiting near the set or hotels and airports. Being associated with such a high profile film, there’s bound to be a lot of attention. The premiere is what I’m most looking forward to, getting to go the Kodak Chinese Theatre in Hollywood for my own film, and coming to London to show it to home audiences. I can’t imagine how exciting it’ll be.

Judi Shekoni Participates in LA Fashion Week Photoshoot

Judi,who plays Zafrina, was working with Floyd Productions, and company from Argentina. The first video is a shorter version of the second one. In the first one Judi is in several places. Even though the narration is in Spanish, lots of the models talking is in English. The second one go to the 26 minute mark to see Judi walk the runway several times in a fashion show. Then starting at the 30 minute mark Judi is in an exclusive photoshoot at Graumen’s Chinese Theatre (which is a problem because they shot on a Saturday and lots of people recognized her and wanted pictures!)

Judi Shekoni Entrepreneur Extraordinaire

Hey Everyone,
Here are some news about Judi aka Zafrina in BD. 
I have already posted about her Hair Extension business in the UK when we did the Meet The Covens Entries. Thanks to our Elite Affie Twilight Lexicon For the Tip! Enjoy!

Via @TwilightLexicon Via @ContactMusic & @ContactMusic

Judi Shekoni who plays Zafrina (vampire photo by Adonis) is quite the busy woman. She’s in Breaking Dawn, she’s going to host her own reality TV show, and now we can add hair extensions and actor advice book to that tally. Contact music has the story on both:

Hair Extensions:

“The stunning star explains, “I’ve always been wearing hair extensions since the age of 16 and I’ve definitely made a few weave mistakes in my time. It’s just always been important to me to find better techniques and to make my hair look good.

“My friend already had a company in England where she had done it before and she was interested in doing it again and so we decided to go into partnership.

“We researched it for about a year-and-a-half; all the manufacturing, and figuring everything out before we launched in 2010 and it was instantly successful. We now have stockists in Nigeria, Australia, England, America and Switzerland.”

Actor help book for actors from the UK transitioning to the USA

“I didn’t realise you needed a work permit to work. I didn’t know nothing (sic) and so basically I just spent my money trying to figure out what to do… There are so many mistakes that you make and there are so many things people don’t tell you.

“I thought it would be of great service to put this information down in a book so that someone could spend three hours reading it and get all that information, rather than it taking them three years and costing them their savings.”

“There’s also so much choice in Los Angeles – you want an acting teacher, there are 10,000 acting teachers, there are 20,000 photographers. There are so many of everything and there’s everything from hustlers who are just taking your money to people who are at the top of their craft.

“By writing the book out and publishing the book it made me feel better about some of the experiences I’ve had here.”

Judi Shekoni and Girlpower

According to MSN, Judi Shekoni (who plays Zafrina in Breaking Dawn) is tapped to host a battle-of-the-sexes, reality TV series in the US called When Women Rule the World. “The Brit tells WENN, “It’s the same format as a British show and the concept is what would happen in a world where women ruled and men obey. “We went to an island to put that into action – the men had to do what they were told. It throws up the question who would be your ideal man in a woman’s world.” Check out the story on MSN. Judi also briefly talks about it with paparazzi (we’re running the footage because Judi didn’t seem bothered by the guy) after a November red carpet event.

TeamEdwardPOV's Meet The Covens™ : Amazon Coven

Hey Everyone,
This is one of our new projects: Meet The Covens™.
In today's post you are going to be introduced to Tracey Heggins (Senna) and Judi Shekoni (Zafrina)

Note: If you want to repost you will credit TeamEdwardPOV as SOURCE if you don't then you are not authorized to repost our Meet The Covens™  blog posts


Ladies and Gentz,

Meet...Senna aka Tracey Heggins

Tracey's career started in 2006. She participated in several TV Series during the years.
Her iMDb page has limited info about her bio. Amazon has one of her movies, "Medicine for Melancholy"

The review says :

A night they barely remember becomes a day they'll never forget...

Wyatt Cenac (of The Daily Show) and Tracey Heggins star in this love story about two African-American twenty-somethings, their one-night stand, and a revealing day-after in rapidly gentrifying San Francisco a city with the smallest proportional black population of any other major American city. In his internationally acclaimed and award-winning debut feature, writer/director Barry Jenkins creates a tender yet resonant tale of sex, race, bicycles and modern urban life that became one of the most significant hits of the festival season and remains perhaps the most talked-about independent film of the year.

YouTubeUser : VisoTrailers brings us as well the Trailer



Zimbio.com has a page for her and you can see her pictures Here

We are going to show you a picture from : 41st NAACP Image Awards held at the Shrine Auditorium On February 26, 2010 in LA.

As far as we know, she doesn't have any Page on Facebook, Twitter or Myspace. 

Meet...Zafrina aka Judi Shekoni

On the other hand, Judi Shekoni has a more detailed bio on iMDB. She started her career in 1998. She has participated both in TV Series but Films. She left UK and that gave her the chance to participate in many successful American Shows. Among them are, "Brothers and Sisters" , "Kings of Queens" , "Navy NCIS" and "Damages."

She has an Official Website  And also her own product line called Extension Revolution

If that is indeed her YouTube Channel she has uploaded a video called Demo Reel
