Film Maker
In his autobiography and in other published writings, Downes admits that one of his earliest ambitions was to make films. He has made a few of them over the years, including:
- The "Case" for Crop Circles (1997)
- The Owlman and Others (2000)
- Eel or no Eel(2006)
- The lair of the Red Worm (2007)
- The Dragons of Africa (2007)
- The Savage Land (2008)
- Mountains of Mystery (2009)
- Riddle of the Hills (2011)
- Emily and the Big Cats (To be released 2011)
He freely admits that his first two films are "rubbish", the former of which is "a load of avant garde bullshit", and the second "a seedy art movie; a semi homage to John Waters, featuring gratuitous nudity, violence, and a pre-op transsexual Nazi." His more recent films, however, are part of the ongoing CFZtv project, and are rough-cut `Guerilla Journalism` projects available for free on the CFZtv website, together with some songs from his albums.

Famous quotes containing the words film and/or maker:
“All the old supports going, gone, this man reaches out a hand to steady himself on a ledge of rough brick that is warm in the sun: his hand feeds him messages of solidity, but his mind messages of destruction, for this breathing substance, made of earth, will be a dance of atoms, he knows it, his intelligence tells him so: there will soon be war, he is in the middle of war, where he stands will be a waste, mounds of rubble, and this solid earthy substance will be a film of dust on ruins.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“The rich and the poor have this in common: the LORD is the maker of them all.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 22:2.
