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.

"You, @KeithAndreen and the rest of the cast/crew killed it!"

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.

"After a long day of talk shows, book signings, and motivational speaking, he returns home to his mansion and passes out, only to be startled awake by what initially appears to be an obsessed fan holding him at gunpoint, demanding the truth about his shameful past, and forcing him into a painful reckoning that will either kill him or be his salvation."
