Runs film rolling credits (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

directs

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

'runs film' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'rolling credits' is the wordplay.
'rolling' indicates anagramming the letters.
'credits' with letters rearranged gives 'DIRECTS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for directs that I've seen before include "Administers" , "Guides, actors say" , "Manages" , "Points the way to go" , "Instructs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
