The solid performance of NBC’s “Southland,” starring Benjamin McKenzie, has carried over to Alexander Poe’s new short film, “The Eight Percent” — which last night won the Delta Airlines Fly-in Movie Contest and will now be entered in the Tribeca Film Festival.

McKenzie, who plays Ben Sherman on “Southland,” also stars in “The Eight Percent,” a romantic comedy about two ex-high school sweethearts who meet for an “awkward” date 10 years later (his ex is played by Ashley Williams).

Congrats Ben and Alexander! We’re all very happy for you. :)
