Quinceañera "Fifteen-year-old" ) is a 2006 American independent drama film written and directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland . Set in Echo Park, Los Angeles , the film follows the lives of two young Mexican American cousins who become estranged from their families—Magdalena (played by Emily Rios ) because of her unwed teenage pregnancy and Carlos (Jesse Garcia ) because of his homosexuality—and are taken in by their elderly great-uncle Tomas (Chalo González).
The film was inspired by Glatzer and Westmoreland's experience as a white gay couple moving into the gentrifying neighborhood of Echo Park, a predominantly Hispanic working-class community. They wrote, cast and filmed Quinceañera over four months in 2005 after securing a US$ 400,000 budget from investors. It was filmed in Echo Park with the assistance of Glatzer and Westmoreland's neighbors and a cast of largely nonprofessional actors. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 23, 2006, where it won the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award . It was released in the United States on August 2, 2006, to mostly positive reviews and earned $2.5 million at the box office. (Full article...
