Who directed the 2006 film Quinceañera, which won major prizes at the Sundance Film Festival?

Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland directed the 2006 film Quinceañera.

The film is an American drama about Magdalena, a teenager in Los Angeles whose planned quinceañera is disrupted by family conflict and an unexpected pregnancy. The story uses the celebration as a setting for questions about family, religion, sexuality, and community.

Glatzer and Westmoreland co-directed the film, which premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. It received both the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award there, giving the independent production substantial attention.

The film is sometimes confused with a documentary or with a title referring to the celebration itself. It is a scripted feature film, and its English-language title is simply Quinceañera.
