Which independent film distributor released the 2006 movie Quinceañera in the United States?

Sony Pictures Classics released the 2006 movie Quinceañera in the United States.

Sony Pictures Classics is the specialty-film division associated with Sony Pictures Entertainment. It handled the U.S. distribution of Quinceañera after the film’s breakthrough at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won major awards in the U.S. Dramatic competition.

The release was significant because the movie was an independently made drama with a focused Mexican American setting and a cast led by emerging performers. Specialty distributors often bring festival films to theaters, critics, and awards audiences rather than giving them the same nationwide blockbuster rollout as a major studio franchise.

Quinceañera was written and directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland. The title is sometimes confused with the name of the cultural celebration alone, but this question concerns the distributor of the specific 2006 feature film.
