Which directing duo made the 2006 film Quinceañera?

The story behind the answer

Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland directed the 2006 film Quinceañera.

The pair also wrote the screenplay, making the film a joint creative project rather than a production directed by one filmmaker alone. Their story follows Magdalena, a teenager whose pregnancy disrupts preparations for her fifteenth-birthday celebration and changes her relationship with her family.

Glatzer and Westmoreland later became known for films including Still Alice, which Westmoreland directed after Glatzer’s death. Their collaboration often focused on intimate character stories and social or family pressures.

Quinceañera was an important early feature for the duo. It premiered at Sundance, where it won both the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award. Those honors helped establish the film as a notable independent production.
