Moritz's more recent credits include the Denzel Washington thriller Out of Time, directed by Carl Frankli, Torque, the motorcycle action movie helmed by music video veteran Joseph Kahn, Not Another Teen Movie, a spoof of the very teen film genre that he helped create, and the college comedy Slackers starring Jason Schwartzman and Devon Sawa.
