Director in clash with crew (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jarman

'director' is the definition.
(Derek Jarman was a film director)

'clash with crew' is the wordplay.
'clash' becomes 'jar' (synonyms).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'crew' becomes 'man' (both can mean to staff or operate something).
'jar'+'man'='JARMAN'

'in' is the link.

(Another definition for jarman that I've seen is " Derek -, film_director".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
