Who directed the 2006 independent film Quinceañera with Richard Glatzer?

Wash Westmoreland directed the 2006 independent film Quinceañera with Richard Glatzer.

Westmoreland and Glatzer were a directing and writing partnership whose film explores a Mexican American family and community in Echo Park, Los Angeles. The title refers to the family celebration around which the story develops, but the film’s subject is broader than the event itself.

The movie became known for its festival success and for presenting queer, Latino, and immigrant-adjacent family experiences within an intimate drama. It received the Audience Award in the dramatic competition at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, a distinction that helped increase its visibility.

Westmoreland later directed films including Still Alice and Colette. Quinceañera is therefore an early feature in a career that continued across independent and mainstream cinema, while retaining an interest in family relationships and identity.
