Most all the motion pictures coming out of Hollywood these days are done by independent film companies, so there is greater flexibility about who gets an on screen credit... I would imagine the catering companies ask for an on screen credit so they can use that credit as part of their business resume, it seems reasonable... an on screen credit can also be used as a bargaining chip... if the catering company gives us a better rate, we'll give them an on screen credit which they can use for their resume... I would think everyone ought to get their due credit, all the way down to the standby carpenters who hang around the set to fix this and that when something breaks... but of course, if we take this to the extreme, pretty soon a feature motion picture that runs 108 minutes will have 8 minutes of dramatic acting followed by 100 minutes of credits...<g> GZ
