My name is Gabriella Bregman, I am a Hollywood-based Writer, Filmmaker and Producer, currently in production of a Feature Documentary about LGBTQ US-Immigration Exclusion-Policy, including my personal story of US Immigration as an International Film Student from the Netherlands during DOMA, (Defense Of Marriage Act, of 1996–2015,) titled ‘The Queer Case for Individual Rights,’ through my film production company Bregman Films.
The 2001 John Cassavetes Film Retrospective ‘Gena and John: A Cassavetes Retrospective’ at the Laemmle Theatres in Los Angeles is a Bregman Films Production.
I also am the Founder of the Nonprofit Film Organization Queer Female Filmmakers Los Angeles.
I identify as a Gender Nonconforming Lesbian, “non-op” Trans-Masculine, and Bi-Racial, from the Netherlands, Los Angeles-based.
My pronouns are: they/them/theirs.
I sometimes go by Orlando, as in Orlando Gabriella Bregman, (in a nod to Virginia Woolf.)
Some people have known me as Gabie, and some people just claim to have known me.

All other LGBTQ-Immigration Articles were written as Supplemental Information.
And all Film Articles with were written primarily for my own enjoyment, and mainly serve to highlight the lack of female visibility in film, both aesthetically and to do with female perspective, and professionally, to do with the existing gender wage gap and with hiring discrimination practices.)
