Lauren Sanchez's first $2m indie movie starring Jeff Bezos's teen daughter ... trends now
The debut film project of Jeff Bezos's girlfriend Lauren Sanchez has been mired in chaos amid reports she enjoyed a 'lavish' trailer and asked to land her helicopter on set while several crew members quit.
Sanchez, 53, self-financed the $2million psychological thriller 'The Golden Door' which was shot last summer and will star Bezos's teenage daughter.
But sources say the film set was 'chaotic' and filled with drama - though those close to Sanchez have hit back claiming she is the victim of 'sexism.'
The director of photography and the assistant director both left the project within the first three weeks, citing creative differences, Page Six reports.
Meanwhile director Kellie Madison reportedly exited after handing in her director's cut in November.

A source told Puck News that Sanchez and Bezos showed up on set frequently, adding she was an 'unwelcome' presence due to her diva-esque demands.
'Suffice to say Sanchez didn’t make many friends by maintaining a relatively lavish trailer while others were sweltering,' reads the Puck report.
'And by asking if she could land her private helicopter on the set while the cast and crew were worried about basic safety protocols and the craft services was apparently inedible.'
The Puck reporter also said he interviewed Sanchez in 2017, calling her 'a piece of work in the over-the-top Beverly Hills striver sense of the phrase.'
Other crew members called Sanchez - a former journalist who now owns her own aerial filming company Black Ops Aviation - 'inexperienced.'
But last night sources known to the star hit back at the criticism.
