Which director co-directed the Sundance-winning film Quinceañera with Richard Glatzer?

Wash Westmoreland co-directed the Sundance-winning film Quinceañera with Richard Glatzer.

The 2006 independent drama follows Magdalena, a Los Angeles teenager preparing for her quinceañera while dealing with family tensions and social expectations. Westmoreland and Glatzer jointly wrote and directed the film, making its celebration setting part of a larger story about community and identity.

At the Sundance Film Festival, Quinceañera won both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award in the U.S. Dramatic competition. Those awards recognized the film itself, not a real-life quinceañera event.

Westmoreland later directed films including Still Alice, which he made with Glatzer. Quinceañera is therefore notable both for its subject and for marking a significant stage in the collaborators’ filmmaking career.
