'make film' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'leave home by november' is the wordplay.
'leave' becomes 'holiday' (I've seen this before).
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'november' becomes 'N' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'holiday'+'in'+'n'='HOLIDAY INN'

'to' is the link.
