SYNOPSIS

Many important events in Ana Maria’s lifehave been disappointing. Will her Quince Años (fifteenth birthday) be any different? Her mother and five siblings are determined that it will be: hoping and struggling to make her Quinceañera a special day, despite a lack of support from her father. Exploring issues of family, faith, and coming of age, “La Quinceañera” is a touching portrait of a Mexican family's love and devotion to each other.

DIRECTOR'S BIOGRAPHY

From Adam Taub: "I am a documentary film director from Boulder, Colorado. My films include "La Quinceañera," "Don Angelo," and my current project "El Duque de la Bachata." La Quinceañera won the 2007 award for Best Documentary at the Angelus Student Film Festival in Hollywood, California and Best Documentary at the San Diego Latino Film Festival. As I mentioned I am currently working on a film project entitled "El Duque de la Bachata" with Joan Soriano, a bachata and merengue musician from the Dominican Republic. I hope to continue exploring the world through documentary film, telling insightful stories that inspire."
