Although kicked out of several parking garages in Los Angeles, False Colors tiny guerrilla crew filmed without interference just outside the White House gates as uniformed officials looked on.
On the first day of filming False Colors, William Norton and his actors were briefly detained by Military Police.
Filming took so long that Tanya Thomas who plays Dr. Sandenow was pregnant with her first child while filming her initial scenes and once again with her second child during additional filming.
Some actual footage from Iraq appears in the film.
False Colors made use of several legendary Los Angeles locations such as the 'Bat Cave', Hollywood Blvd., the Santa Monica pier and Griffith Park carousel and two decommissioned military installations as well as Lucques restaurant and The Liquid Kitty which have since closed.
