In Katie’s Office scene, are the actors being directed to turn their faces in the direction of the light to light to keep them illuminated well, keeping the Rembrandt shadow, etc? Also was the green bounce light from the table onto the main character intentional?

@jrdeford HI jrdeford, I did not direct the actors to the light, the green bounce was real so we went with it, but not intentional other than reality
