It wasn't all just snow and screenings at Sundance for the Cinematical; every chance we had, we were snapping pics as well. Here's a round-up of the best of our Sundance pics (more photos past the jump).

Quinceanera, a feature film in the Dramatic Competition about a young Hispanic girl rejected by her family when she gets pregnant, is getting great audience response and a lot of buzz at the Sundance Film Festival. Cinematical sat down with the film's directors, Richard Glazter and Wash Westmoreland, to talk about their film.

Cinematical: You must have been thrilled to have Quinceanera accepted into Sundance. Did you anticipate how positive response would be to your film?

Wash: Well, of course you have fantasies about how your film will do; Richard and I both had our individual fantasies, but we didn't really talk about them openly - we didn't want to jinx it.

Richard: Until it's up in front of the audience, you just don't know how it's going to play.

Cinematical: How did you happen to work together on this film?

Wash: We're partners - outside of filmmaking, I mean - and we've also worked collaboratively a lot. It works well because sometimes you roll out of bed at 7AM and have a great idea, and you can start working immediately.

Fourteen-year-old Magdalena (newcomer Emily Rios) is a typical teenager: hanging out with her friends, having her first romance with a boy, doing her homework, and dreaming about her future. She wants nothing more in life than to ride in a Hummer Limo to her Quiñceanera - a traditional party celebrating a girl's fifteenth birthday. A Quiñceanera is a milestone in a young girl's life, a celebration of the successful transition from childhood to womanhood, and a ritual that ties young girls to their spirituality, to remind them to follow God and stay pure. At the film's outset, Magdalena is at her cousin Eileen's Quinceanera. Eileen's parents have a lot more money than Magdalena's, and Eileen's Quiñceanera is a fancy one. Everyone is having a great time, until Eileen's brother Carlos (Jesse Garcia) shows up and is punched in the face and kicked out by his father.

Magdalena's mother later tells her that her sister, Eileen's mother, has offered to let Magdalena use her cousin's ball dress for her own upcoming Quiñceanera. Magdalena is disappointed not to be getting a new dress, but she asks her mother if she can ride to her party in a Hummer limo instead. Magdalena's mother tells her that her father will not agree to it; he is a preacher and wants to keep the focus of his daughter's Quiñceneara on the spiritual aspect of the occasion. Magdalena begs her mother to ask her father anyhow, and her mother, who wants her daughter's day to be a special occasion, agrees to approach him about it.

Magdalena and her boyfriend Herman have been "messing around" but haven't consummated their relationship, so Magdalena is shocked to discover she is pregnant. When her conservative preacher father learns about the pregnancy, he reacts by kicking her out of the house. Magdalena goes to live with her great-uncle Tomas (Chalo Gonzalez) and cousin Carlos, who was kicked out of his house when his father discovered he had been surfing gay porn sites.
