Lauren Sanchez’s first $2 million independent film starring Jeff Bezos’ teenage daughter descends into chaos

Jeff Bezos’ girlfriend Lauren Sanchez’s debut film project has been plunged into disarray amid reports she enjoyed a “luxurious” trailer and requested her helicopter be landed on set while several crew members quit.

Sanchez, 53, financed the $2 million psychological thriller The Golden Door, which was shot last summer and will include a cameo by Bezos’ teenage daughter.

But sources say the film’s location was “messy” and full of drama – though those close to Sanchez responded by claiming she was a victim of “sexism”.

Both the director of photography and his assistant left the project within the first three weeks, citing creative differences, Page six reports.

Meanwhile, director Kelly Madison reportedly left after handing her director’s decision in November.

said a source imp news which Sanchez and Beezos appeared with frequently, adding that she was an “unwelcome” presence due to her diva demands.

“Suffice it to say that Sanchez didn’t make many friends by keeping his trailer relatively luxurious while others were swelteringly hot,” reads the post. demon a report.

Asked if she could land her private helicopter on set while the cast and crew worried about basic safety protocols and the seemingly inedible craft services.

The Puck reporter also said he interviewed Sanchez in 2017, describing her as “A piece of work in the serious Beverly Hills sense of the phrase.

Other crew members described Sanchez – a former journalist who now owns her own aerial photography company, Black Ops Aviation – as “inexperienced”.

But well-known sources of the star last night hit back at the criticism.

someone said Page six: Lauren has worked with Christopher Nolan and Catherine Hardwicke, and she’s hardly inexperienced.

Of course, Lauren was going to ask to use her helicopter to shoot aerial footage. She was involved — she even brought her own jewelry for the actors to wear in the movie.

As for the luxury trailer, it was 30 feet long. Star Wagon, a one-room trailer that she shares with all the producers.

“It’s just sexist; Lauren has been producing for a long time, and not just in feature films. She’s a Latina who has funded an all-female movie, which is no mean feat.

But the source admitted there were “issues” with the site, adding that it was “a little chaotic.”

It’s a $2 million budget movie and there were a bunch of newbies on set, new producers, and semi-new directors. There was definitely more drama than Lauren was used to.

The film was shot in Topanga, California over a 20-day shoot and was produced by Sanchez’s company, Adventure & Fellowship.

It stars Megalyn Ichikonok, Chris Rock’s ex-girlfriend, and Daniela Curtis, who starred in World War Z.

Puck News claims Bezos’ teenage daughter was an intern on the film and was given a small role.

Bezos – who announced his relationship with Sanchez in 2019 – has so far managed to keep his daughter’s name secret.

Having his daughter in the movie will likely be a huge draw for fans.

A production insider told Page Six that the cameraman’s director was forced to leave in the first week of production due to a falling out with then-director Madison.

The insider said he “wasn’t feeling the director’s creative vibe”.

In the third week, the assistant manager also left and they were both replaced.

After Madison handed over the director’s share in November but has since exited the project.

This meant that Sanchez was left to find a new director to finish and re-scoring the film. Page six reports.
