Who directed the 2006 film Quinceañera, which follows a teenager preparing for her celebration?

Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland directed the 2006 film Quinceañera.

The film follows Magdalena, a Mexican-American teenager in Los Angeles whose pregnancy affects her family and her plans for her quinceañera. Emily Rios plays Magdalena, while Jesse Garcia and Chalo González are among the principal cast members.

Quinceañera premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2006, where it won the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award in the Dramatic Competition. Those awards helped bring the independent film wider attention.

The movie uses the celebration as a setting for questions about family, identity, sexuality, religion, and community. It is a fictional drama, not a documentary about a single universal quinceañera ritual.
