Who directed the 2006 American film Quinceañera together with Richard Glatzer?

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

Quinceañera was an independent drama about Magdalena, a teenager whose pregnancy disrupts preparations for her fifteenth-birthday celebration. The film examines family relationships and cultural expectations in Echo Park, Los Angeles, rather than presenting a simple guide to the celebration tradition.

Westmoreland and Glatzer worked as a directing partnership on several films. Their collaboration on Quinceañera helped establish the film at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, where it won both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award for dramatic competition.

The directors’ shared credit is important because the film is sometimes attributed to only one of them in short summaries. It was jointly written and directed by the pair. Westmoreland later became known for films including Still Alice, while Glatzer also worked as a screenwriter and director.
