After producing two successful movies, Ang Lalake sa Parola and Ang Lihim Ni Antonio, the indie film tandem of Lex Bonife (as screenplay writer) and Jay Altarejos (as director) are at it again to give us another gay-themed movie to watch out for, entitled “Kambyo”. The film brings to the silverscreen two of the hottest members of Viva’s all-male bump-and-grind group Men of Provoq, Johnron Tañada and Gabz del Rosario; along with indie film discoveries, Rayan Dulay and Kenjie Garcia; and former teenstar Harold Macasero.

Kambyo is a story about four men who went on a roadtrip which would change their lives forever. Here is the movie’s synopsis:

“It’s the last summer of their university life. Cousins Macky (Rayan Dulay of Bathhouse) and Manuel (Kenjie Garcia of Ang Lihim ni Antonio) start on a road trip to look for the Macky’s long lost friend Philip (Johnron Tanada). They bring along with them their fun loving friend Xavier (Harold Macasero), who tags along a hunky guy named Aldo (Gabz del Rosario), whom he just met right before their trip.

As the engine of Macky’s old van begins to accelerate, their relationships start on a new journey. Love blooms. Secrets unfold. Insecurities collide. And hidden desires set in.

As they drive their way up north of Manila, this unrestrained group of three friends and a stranger explore the boundaries of their friendships, their sexualities, their dreams and the future that lies ahead of them.”

Watch the movie’s full trailer, below.

“Kambyo” will have a premiere night at the UP Cine Adarna (formerly UP Film Center) on July 5, 2008 at 7:00pm. Catch this special screening as its regular run in theaters are yet to be announced. Tickets will be sold at the venue prior to the movie’s screening and are priced at a little over P100.
