At home, taking pass on film made by small company? (5)
I believe the answer is:
indie
'film made by small company?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'at home taking pass' is the wordplay.
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'taking' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'pass' becomes 'die' (as in passing away).
'in'+'die'='INDIE'
'on' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for indie that I've seen before include "Type of music" , "Non-mainstream record label" , "not linked to major label" , "Not signed up to a major record company" , "Pop music style" .)
