He moved on to become an editor and book designer in the 1970s and then returned to work with Kubrick as an assistant in 1979. He continued to work with him until Kubrick's death in 1999. All together, Frewin worked a total of nearly 25 years with the acclaimed director.

He has said that if not for Kubrick, he would never have starting writing. "I was 17 when Stanley first employed me and he had more confidence in me than I had in myself. He pushed me and made me realize, like he made all of us realize, that the only limit on our achievement is our imagination."
