Opening a csv file that's given in a function

I'm trying to open a file that is given when the function is ran and the name of the file is from the function.
Here's my current code:
import csv
def a_test(filename):
with open(filename) as file:
reader = csv.reader(file)
for row in reader:
print(row)
When I run this and type a_test(media-song.csv) (media-song.csv being a file in the same directory), I get this error:
NameError: name 'media' is not defined
python

Rename the file by removing the - from the name. Apparently, python is treating media and song as operands to the subtraction - operation. Example name could be MediaSong.csv.
