cut

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

This could be a double definition.

'a share of the profits' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'by movie director?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'called for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cut that I've seen before include "Slash" , "drunk" , "Stop filming" , "Divide; intersect" , "Hacked off" .)
