Don't think of the background light as just a background light. Play with it.

If you double the distance you will diminish the fallout.

You will need to double the output, and probably put a card so you don't spill light to your subject.

But play with the light, cut a cardboard in diferent shapes.

From diferent angles

Put a difuse before the cardboard, remove the difuser, move the distance to the screen, to the cardboard, the angle.

You can also construct a snoot just wraping cardboard arround your flash head.

Take a time to shoot not your portrait, but to shoot just backgrounds.
