Marnie Interior Pennsylvania home

Interior Pennsylvania home designed for a moment when Mark Rutland, played by Sean Connery, exits the residence. This is an example of a translucent backdrop designed to light from behind, creating the convincing illusion of a sun filled room, adding depth to the scene.
