In the 2006 film Quinceañera, which two directors shared the directing credit?

Wash Westmoreland and Richard Glatzer shared the directing credit for the 2006 film Quinceañera.

The American independent drama follows Magdalena, a teenager in Los Angeles whose family and community relationships change as her quinceañera approaches. Emily Rios plays Magdalena, and the film examines family expectations, religion, sexuality, and belonging within a Mexican American community.

Quinceañera premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, where it received both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award in the dramatic competition. Those awards helped bring the film wider attention beyond its cultural subject.

The film title uses the Spanish name of the celebration, but the movie is not a documentary about universal quinceañera rules. Its characters’ experiences are fictional and specific to the story’s Los Angeles setting.
