I believe the answer is:

hollywood

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

'filmmakers plant' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'trees together' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'trees' could be 'wood' and 'wood' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'holly' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'some' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hollywood that I've seen before include "Cinematically brash and romantic" , "California suburb" , "Where Frankie goes" , "There's a place for tinsel" , "in LA?" .)
