A method of making an optical filter film with varying optical properties includes the step of drawing a multilayer polymeric preform into an optical filter and varying at least one environmental condition being a member of the group including of heat, pressure, tension, and a drawing speed, the at least one environmental condition being varied over time or over a distance, or both, and causing a variation in layer thickness within the optical filter. The preform may be drawn through a furnace subjecting the preform to a heating power that varies across a width of the furnace or over time or both across the width and over time. The preform may also be drawn through the furnace while the drawing speed varies across a width of the furnace or over time or both across the width and over time.
