I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'movie's producer?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'come read about cuts by' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'cuts' indicates putting letters inside (some letters cut their way into a word).
'by' becomes 'via' (travelling by or via a place).
'come'+'read'='comeread'
'comeread' with letters rearranged gives 'deocamer'.
'deocamer' put within 'via' is 'VIDEO CAMERA'.

Can you help me to learn more?
