Which two filmmakers directed Quinceañera, the 2006 film centered on a Los Angeles teenager?

The story behind the answer

Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland directed Quinceañera, the 2006 film centered on a Los Angeles teenager.

The directors collaborated on the screenplay as well as the direction. Their film follows Magdalena as she prepares for a quinceañera while facing changes within her family and religious community.

Quinceañera became especially notable after its 2006 Sundance run, where it won the Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award. Those honors helped establish it as a prominent independent film.

The directors later worked together on Still Alice. Quinceañera is one of several films connected with their partnership and should not be mistaken for the similarly titled 1987 Mexican television series.
