Quince about tradition, not tragedy – the movie Quinceañeras

Tagged:

“When the tattooed teenage boys kept showing up to practice steps to a formal waltz in his neighbor’s backyard, filmmaker Richard Glatzer knew Quinceañeras had to be more than just birthday parties.

“It has a large religious component and a formal court. There are choreographed dances that take weeks to rehearse. And these teenagers, even the ones that seem kind of rough, take it very seriously,” said Mr. Glatzer, who, along with Wash Westmoreland, co-wrote and co-directed “Quinceañera.” The fictional film won the audience and jury award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.”
