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

'logies redistributed' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'a western director' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'one' and 'one' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
