Downes grew up in Visalia, about 200 miles north of Los Angeles, where most of the Christian films he participated in were shot. He currently lives in Visalia with his wife Layne and their son Brennen. Before teaming up with his brother to make The Moment After, Bobby spent five years doing full-time volunteer work in 15 nations and all 50 states.[citation needed]
Downes and his brother Kevin produce films for their company, Downes Brothers Entertainment. Together with his brother, and David A.R. White, Downes produced Six: The Mark Unleashed, starring Kevin Downes, Stephen Baldwin, Eric Roberts, David A.R. White, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. The movie was released in theaters in June 2004, and on DVD in 2009 by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
In 2006, Downes produced the indie sequel The Moment After 2: The Awakening, and as of 2008, produced Like Dandelion Dust, starring Mira Sorvino and Barry Pepper. He currently is producing A Thousand Tomorrows; both movies are based on novels by NY Times best-selling author Karen Kingsbury. The Downes brothers are working on an entire slate of films based on Kingsbury's novels and a television series based on her Baxter family series.
monkey middle with a fiddle
in a real tight ragtime band
cause a blaze of fame and fortune
heard so loud across the land
and those little people who buy those records sit lonely
in their homes with funny faces falling into the great

they got little polka-dot undies
and you know they have their fun

and those little people who buy those records sit lonely
in their homes with funny faces falling into the great
