Punctuation:  Do not use hyphens to separate two or more company names.  Instead, use the comma, space punctuation.  Alternatively, separate the names of two companies with a slash (with spaces closed up on both sides), or with the word "and" enclosed in brackets.

For international co-productions, the order of the production companies should be established using one of the following methods in this order of preference:

1.  Record the production companies in the order in which they appear on the work.

2.  If the production companies do not appear on the work, or the work is not viewed, record the companies in the order in which they appear in secondary sources.

3.  If some of the production companies do not appear on the work, or if secondary sources conflict, record the countries of production in alphabetical order.  Then record the companies in the same order as the countries of production.  See 3C5.

(Production companies do not appear on work; secondary sources conflict.  Third method was used.)
