We Can Save The World!!! marks Cheng’s debut feature film, following his web series Average Guys and Neighbourhood Watch Task Force. In a press release, Cheng describes the film as a love letter to Singapore and to anyone who has felt stuck in life.

“I hope Singaporeans will see themselves in this movie – to laugh, to cry, and to remember that our messy, weird, ridiculous lives are worth putting on the big screen.”
