About

My name is Lauren Fleche (Aiya Ono) also known as AOLF. For film known as Aiya Lauren Marianne Takahashi Ono. My legal name is Aiya Ono. Born in 1987, I am a creative producer and entrepreneur living in New York City. I was raised in Australia, New York and Tokyo and my creativity is inspired by “intricate stories we tell in another dimension”. My mother is a U.S. Citizen and I am 2.5% European (Spanish) and have mostly Japanese and some Chinese ancestry (more than 5 generations ago) according to a DNA test according to a genetic DNA test. Fléche means arrow in Swiss French which is the meaning of the Japanese character in my legal name “Ai” (love) and “Ya” (arrow). Lauren is just a name I like and use as a nickname. My grandfather has been an “Ono” since the 1930’s when he was born and it is a common last name, the equivalent to something like the Smiths.

I find myself a dream space inspiring film, music and art. In real life I write about a neuroscientist who solves the world’s curse in Switzerland, travelling to Europe, Australia and beyond, just as I did.

Humans are simply a matter of body tissue and neurons. What we create is what humanity is and who we are.

This includes films, music, art and even the food that we eat.

As for emotions, can it be bottled up and recreated? Is it created by humans? That is the question. The body feels emotion, which is simply a matter of neurons firing in the brain. However, emotion contained is on the silver screen and can be seen throughout centuries. That is why humanity and being a human is creation.

I was just a “technological spirit” several years ago, now I’m real and also the “step sister” of the location scout for Wes Anderson’s film, The Darjeeling Limited featuring Natalie Portman, Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, and Adrien Brody. He is also the nephew of two time Emmy winner and Academy Award Nominee (The Talented Mr. Ripley). Several notable American films.

I am currently working as Development Producer for several feature films. Please contact to be included for a b-roll if you’re an actor! I have several stories I’m working on currently. Also looking for Director of Photography!
