Crossword Genius

Team for quiet films (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

players

'team' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'quiet films' is the wordplay.
'quiet' becomes 'p' (music symbol for 'piano').
'films' becomes 'layers'.
'p'+'layers'='PLAYERS'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for players that I've seen before include "Team members" , "Actors" , "Performers" , "They participate in games" , "Musicians" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
