He also produced several records, including the debut album of Zvuki Mu. After a decade of artistic activity in the Soviet Union he moved 1990 to Los Angeles (California, USA), where he remains an active musician, making records (both, with Center and solo), playing live shows in USA and Russia, shooting short films and creating multimedia art.

In the first half of 2000-es Shumov is coordinating the "c-e-n-t-e-r" project, which results in the mini-films, combining experimental music and videos of various artists from different countries.

A short film "Kelton's Dark Corner" by Vasily Shumov starring Paul Marco was released in January 2006. Paul Marco is probably best known for the Ed Wood's 1950-es films. Unfortunately, Marco died the same year, without completing further films of the planned "Dark Corner" series.
