If you can't have any supplimental light in the shot, one thing you can do is hide white cards behind walls, trees, chairs, or on the ground out of the camera's view. Have the actor hit those cards with his flash light, thereby bouncing fill back into his face. It's done all the time.

I'm going to give that a try. Ive got a scene where the house gets all the lights shut off and i was hoping to use just a flashlight for a small portion of the scene. Sort of like in "I Am Legend" when his dog runs into that building after the elk.

That's exactly what they used for a big chunk of "The Descent"
