The pandemic has led to new ways of delivering drama - and online comedy In The Balance is no exception.
Helmed by Hackney-based director Marley Morrison and starring Lily Frazer, the working from home internet series is designed to show off all the whizzily productive things a Microsoft Surface Duo can do.
All five parts are available on YouTube and Microsoft UK - and while the technology is a hybrid of phone and laptop - the series itself is part snappily scripted drama part high concept advert that sees Frazer s Lisa literally hanging in the balance as she juggles home working while solving a mystery on her first day in a new job.

Microsoft and Darktrace
Microsoft and Darktrace plan to work together on developing new ways to protect businesses from increasingly sophisticated threats such as ransomware.
Darktrace has announced a new partnership with Microsoft. The Cambridge-based firm and the tech behemoth plans to increase security and focuses on automatically detecting threats, particularly those delivered via malicious emails, under the terms of the agreement.
Darktrace, a cybersecurity company founded in 2013, has been at the forefront of developing artificial intelligence that detects and responds to suspicious activity and threats.
Darktrace and Microsoft partner up to develop new ways to detect and protect against increasingly sophisticated attacks, such as ransomware, which last week crippled a major U.S. gas pipeline.
