The 2006 Sundance darling Quinceañera””written and directed by gay filmmakers Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland””has been purchased by Sony Pictures Classics.
Tagged: Film, latin america, mobile” Sony is eyeing an August release for the film, which in January won two of the Sundance Film Festival’s highest honors: the dramatic grand jury prize and the audience award. As part of the deal, Sony Pictures Classics secured North American and Latin American rights to the movie, which is executive-produced by gay director Todd Haynes.
Quinceañera tells the larger story of the somewhat awkward melting pot of Mexican-Americans and upwardly mobile gays in the gentrifying Los Angeles neighborhood of Echo Park through a tale of two teenagers rejected by their Catholic families. The title refers to the Latino ritual of celebrating a young girl’s 15th birthday with parties and ceremonies. “
