Which two directors co-directed the 2006 independent film Quinceañera?

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

The film follows Magdalena, a pregnant teenager in East Los Angeles, as family conflict and community expectations shape her quinceañera year. Glatzer and Westmoreland developed the story as a character-driven drama rooted in a specific Los Angeles community rather than as a broad ceremonial documentary.

The directors later collaborated on other films, including The Last of Robin Hood and Still Alice. Their partnership is therefore part of a larger filmmaking relationship, not a one-time credit attached only to Quinceañera.

The movie’s title can be confused with the 1987 Mexican telenovela Quinceañera. The two productions have different countries of origin, formats, casts, and stories. The film’s 2006 release date and its co-directors are useful identifiers when distinguishing it from the television series.
