His film career began with enrollment in a Digital Filmmaking Class at Huntington, NY's Cinema Arts Centre, where he worked on the Glenn Andreiev film "Sharp & Sudden."
In 2004, he raised $3,000 with co-producer Jake McGee to shoot "Of Bitches & Hounds," an avant-garde allegory about domestic abuse. In 2007, the notorious short premiered at Peabody's Rockstar, a Cleveland night spot famous for industrial rock music. Later, it became a cult hit on Berkeley TV.

- At the Peabody's Rockstar premiere of his short feature "Of Bitches & Hounds," he warned the crowd of the threat of cattle prods if they didn't like his movie.
- Bob was fired from a freelancing gig at Good Times Magazine for using "overly collegiate language." The paper was, ironically, geared toward a college crowd.
- Offered to sign checks from his day job as a retail manager over to Steve Dash in an effort to convince him to be in the film 'Hemo.' Ironically, Dash ended up working for free on the film and even picked up the check for their meals at their dinner meeting. Freville said he'd get it, but Mr. Dash grabbed it off the table, saying, "No, I got it. I make more money than you.".
- Broke a window and nearly broke his spine while doing his own stunts for "The Slasher.".
- ...my films always evolve out of a combination of personal experience, observation and sudden lightbulb burning.
- The most influential [filmmakers] are the people who manage to make their films for peanuts and pubic hair, ya know?
- I was up on a platform kind of f***ing the air and penetrating the space in front of their faces with the camera. It was a new approach and one that I expect to use in the future.
