"LOOSE CONTROL"

A snazzy NYC media production hub, idea bank and "defibrillation studio" for performers, Serious Vein's wide purview insists on excellence and levity, whose coexistence inevitably yields astonishing and proven results.

From concept to culmination, creative projects of all kinds are executed with passion, discipline and detail while nurturing the delight, humor and flow of divergent free-thinking. Several outcomes have gone global, as the kids say.

Serious Vein is home base to producer-musician-actor-writer-director-coach-consultant-photographer (and hyphenate-skeptic) Pete Macnamara, Fine&Dandy Records, Spiny Norman Publishing, and the performing artist "p-Rex."
