Which filmmaker co-directed the 2006 film Quinceañera alongside Richard Glatzer?

Wash Westmoreland co-directed the 2006 film Quinceañera alongside Richard Glatzer.

The film marked an early major collaboration between Westmoreland and Glatzer, who later worked together on Still Alice. Quinceañera follows Magdalena, a teenager in Los Angeles whose family and religious community react to her unexpected pregnancy.

The directors used a naturalistic, character-focused approach rather than treating the story as a conventional teen comedy. Its plot connects quinceañera customs with questions about family expectations, sexuality, religion, and belonging.

A common mix-up is confusing the film with the real-life celebration. “Quinceañera” is also the title of a 2006 American independent drama, while the cultural tradition is practiced in many Latin American communities and among people of Latin American heritage elsewhere.
