What alternate title was used for the 2006 film Quinceañera?

The story behind the answer

The alternate title used for the 2006 film Quinceañera was Echo Park, L.A.

The title points to the Los Angeles neighborhood where the film is set and helps distinguish the movie from the quinceañera celebration generally. The story follows Magdalena, a teenager whose family life becomes complicated around her fifteenth birthday and the expectations surrounding the event.

Quinceañera was directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland. It gained attention at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award in the dramatic competition. Those awards made the film one of the better-known independent movies connected with Latino family and community life.

The alternate title can cause confusion in searches because the film is more widely recognized by Quinceañera. Both titles refer to the same 2006 feature, not to separate films or separate cultural ceremonies.
