Jackstone 5

Directed by Joel Lamangan

Five gay men, who were inseparable in their youth-calling themselves the "Jackstone 5", reunite decades later after living very different lives. What begins as a lighthearted catch-up filled with nostalgia gradually exposes the wounds, secrets and compromises each carried in order to survive in a conservative society.

This film is not currently available to watch online. It may be awaiting release or may no longer be available on any known streaming service.

Jackstone 5 is a low-budget Filipino drama about desire, masculinity and the social performance expected of men. Joel Lamangan leans into melodrama, but the film’s directness and interest in gay relationships give it a distinct place within his prolific body of work.
