Food

A well-fed crew is a happy crew, so the food department plays a critical role on and off set. Breakfast and lunch catering are typical for most productions, and they also provide craft services (snacks & drinks) between these meal times. The food stylist works on set and constructs photo ready food for the filming process, and although it may look tasty, it is not to be eaten!
