Who directed the 2006 American drama film Quinceañera with Wash Westmoreland?

The story behind the answer

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

The film was written and directed by Glatzer and Westmoreland, who later collaborated on several projects. Quinceañera focuses on a Mexican American family in Los Angeles and uses the planned fifteenth-birthday celebration as a central point in its story.

The movie premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award in the dramatic competition. It subsequently became known for its independent-film treatment of family conflict, cultural identity, and LGBTQ themes.

Richard Glatzer is sometimes confused with the film’s actors or with other contemporary American independent directors. He was a filmmaker and screenwriter, while Westmoreland was his directing and writing collaborator. The film’s two-director credit is why the question asks for the partner named alongside Westmoreland.
