NCIS star Katrina Law marked an exciting career moment away from the long-running CBS show on Saturday as she attended the west coast premiere of her new short film, Mayfly, at the LA Shorts International Film Festival.
Katrina co-wrote Mayfly alongside her husband Keith Andreen, who also directed his wife in the movie.
The 37-year-old shared some snaps from the evening on her Instagram Story, including one posted by her friend and fellow actress Vanessa Cater, who praised the project.
Katrina reshared an Instagram Story from Vanessa that showed the two friends posing together on the red carpet. Tagging the NCIS star in the caption, Vanessa wrote: “I’m so proud of you. Co-wrote, starred and produced Mayfly and it’s amazing!

The film, which also stars Yellowjackets actor Warren Kole, follows a mysterious woman as she breaks into the home of a best-selling self-help author and forces him to confront scars that he thought had long been healed.
“Best-selling self-help author Aaron Driscoll may look like a successful motivational speaker on the outside, but inside, he hides a dark secret, that he thought would remain buried deep in his past,” reads the synopsis.

The west coast premiere of Mayfly comes amid disappointing news for NCIS fans as production for the upcoming 21st season is currently on hold due to the ongoing writers’ strike.

Stars of the drama recently took to the picket lines to show their support for the strike, including Brian Dietzen and Sean Murray, who play Dr Jimmy Palmer and Agent Timothy McGee.
Sean took to his Instagram page to share a snap of the pair, who were joined by writer and executive producer Scott Williams and producer David J. North on the picket lines.
