Government is hopeful significant returns will soon show on films being made here.
DED member Laurence Skelly said there are a lot of high-profile productions in the pipeline.
The first picture made as part of the Pinewood partnership, Belle, has recently secured a distribution deal ensuring it will be seen in cinemas.
Filming of the costume drama took place between September and October, with Castletown Harbour doubling up as Bristol docks.
Mr Skelly said financial return would soon show:
