Bob Freville is an American journalist, filmmaker, actor and short story writer from Long Island, New York. He is also a self-proclaimed "culture critic" and an ordained Minister or "Brain Wizard" in the Universal Life Church. He has written for Creem Magazine, Long Island Press, Kotori Magazine and others. From 2004–2011, he served as Associate Editor at Kotori Magazine. Freville attended a "Crash Course in Digital Filmmaking" at Huntington, NY's ''Cinema Arts Centre''. His debut feature film "Hemo" was released on VOD from Troma Entertainment as of June 13, 2011. "Hemo" will be available on DVD from Troma and Cav in December 2012. == Early career == Bob Freville began a career as a freelance journalist at the age of sixteen. After dropping out of high school to write for ACJ Communications, Inc. Freville got a gig writing concert reviews for Good Times Magazine, a New York "entertainment paper" that was geared toward a college demographic. After less than a month of working for them, editor Jesse Serwer fired the unpaid Freville for using an "overly-collegiate vocabulary." Shortly thereafter, Freville came across a website called Get Underground, which would later merge with Kotori Magazine, and was promptly hired to be a contributor and, eventually, a columnist. In 2004, shortly before Get Underground was dissolved by creator Shlomo Sher, Wasim Muklashy approached Freville about becoming a staff writer for his newly launched newsstand magazine Wav. By the end of 2004 Freville's colorful prose had become a mainstay within the pages of Muklashy's magazine and he was promoted to Associate Editor. Around this time an affiliate of Clear Channel—publishers of The Wave Magazine served then-Editor-in-Chief Muklashy with a cease and desist. After careful consideration and a blessing from the Hopi Indian tribe of Southern California, Muklashy renamed the magazine Kotori, after the "screech owl spirit." Freville's role in the relaunch of the newly rechristened magazine included editorials, proof-reading, fielding interviews and penning an Op Ed piece. Also in 2004 Freville's short story collection, ''The Flightless Cormorant'' was published, on a print-on-demand basis, by MAG Press, a print subsidiary of August Highland's Muse Apprentice Guild. Highland gave the book the MAG Award for "Best Fiction from an Emerging Author," but failed to send a standard Publishing Contract to Freville. Additionally, Highland had promised to coordinate East Coast radio interviews to promote the book's release. He failed to do so and, within one year of 'Cormorant''s publication, the book was out of print. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bob Freville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
