Film-maker from Taormina originally (8)
I believe the answer is:
animator
'film-maker' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'taormina originally' is the wordplay.
'originally' is an anagram indicator.
'taormina' with letters rearranged gives 'ANIMATOR'.
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for animator that I've seen before include "Cartoon creator" , "Catoon film-maker" , "Someone who imparts vitality to others" , "Person making cartoons" , "Walt Disney, perhaps?" .)
