(2011) TZVETA 11: Dance Portrait on Screen (4:37 min)  Ayo Okunseinde, editor, combines graphic design and 3D effects in the exploration of the subtlety and action of Tzveta Kassabova’s movement in a dynamic pop art short.  For TZVETA II the filmmaker ventures to the edge of the subconscious to reveal the essence that transcends in kinetic experience in these portrayals of Tzveta Kassabova for Dance Portraits on Screen.

Steve Hilmy balances electronic compositional structures against improvisational synthetic sound design for a provocative musical amalgam. Director – Maida Withers pushes and allows artists to challenge the viewer with the unbelievable; Editor, Ayodamola Okunseinde captures physical power with the unexpected;  Tzveta Kassabova  Dancer/Choreographer reveals the daring possibilities in dance; Composer/Musician: Steve Hilmy combines real sound and technology with ease that brings pleasure.
