After Ari (Jesse McCartney) falls from a 13-story building and walks away without a scratch, a group of students begin to sense something is amiss on their college campus. On a quest to find answers, they are forced to battle guards, “Griefers,” and, at times, each other in order to survive unknown entities that are looming. The group must team up and fight together before they are terminated from their otherworldly campus. Ourexclusive cliptakes place just after Ari’s fall, withMartin Scorseseplaying the doctor who treats him at thehospital.
Martin Scorseseis certainly no stranger to acting, with 31 film and TV credits to his name including roles in his own films such asTaxi DriverandRaging Bull, along with Quiz Show and Guilty by Suspicion. He even played himself in episodes of HBO’sEntourageandCurb Your Enthusiasm. Still, one might think it’s strange for an esteemed filmmaker likeMartin Scorseseto take on a cameo role in a low-budget indie film. There is a perfectly good reason behind hisCampus Codecameo: the film was produced and co-directed by his daughter, Cathy Scorsese.

She has worked as a prop master onCasino,The Aviator,The Departed,Shutter Islandand HBO’sBoardwalk Empire, which her father executive produced. While we don’t see him in this clip,Campus Codealso features another notable cameo appearance fromRay Liotta.
