Rash move to open up someone local shot by an amateur? (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

home movie

'shot by an amateur?' is the definition.
(an amateur film shot at home)

'rash move to open up someone local' is the wordplay.
'rash' is an anagram indicator (a reckless or careless ordering of the letters).
'to open up' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters open up a gap in the word).
'someone local' becomes 'homie' (informal term for someone from one's neighbourhood).
'move' anagrammed gives 'emov'.
'emov' inserted within 'homie' is 'HOME MOVIE'.
