Who co-directed the 2006 American drama film Quinceañera with Richard Glatzer?

Wash Westmoreland co-directed the 2006 American drama film Quinceañera with Richard Glatzer.

The two filmmakers also co-wrote the screenplay. Their film centers on Magdalena, a teenager whose pregnancy causes her family to cancel her planned quinceañera. She then lives with her cousin Carlos and great-uncle Tomás in Echo Park, where the story explores family, religion, sexuality, and community.

Westmoreland and Glatzer later collaborated on several projects, including Still Alice, which Glatzer and Westmoreland co-directed. Their partnership is therefore part of a broader filmmaking collaboration rather than a one-time credit.

Quinceañera is sometimes mistaken for the 1987 Mexican telenovela with the same title. The movie is an English-language American independent production, while the telenovela is a Spanish-language television serial. Their shared title reflects the central cultural tradition, not a shared storyline.
