Who directed the 2006 film Quinceañera?

Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland directed the 2006 film Quinceañera.

The two filmmakers collaborated on this independent drama about a Mexican-American family in Los Angeles preparing for a quinceañera. Their shared direction presents the event as part of a broader story involving family obligations, religious expectations, sexuality, and neighborhood life.

The film became one of the best-known quinceañera-related works in English-language cinema after its Sundance success. It received the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and the dramatic audience award at the 2006 festival, helping establish its reputation beyond its cultural subject.

Because the film has two directors, both names are needed for a complete answer. They later collaborated on other films, including The Last of Robin Hood and Still Alice. The directing credit should not be confused with the film’s writers, producers, or cast.
