Fish-eye ultimately succeeded for director (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ang lee

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

'succeeded for director' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'fish-eye ultimately' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'angle' (angle can mean to fish).
'ultimately' says to take the final letters.
The final letter of 'eye' is 'e'.
'angle'+'e'='ANG LEE'

Can you help me to learn more?
