Singaporean film We Can Save The World!!! to make world premiere at New York Asian Film Festival in July

Joining them are cast members Fauzi Azzhar, Xuan Ong, Leslie Sim and Daisy Irani.

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.

“As young filmmakers in Singapore, we’re often given a healthy dose of pessimism, told not to expect too much, to stay within safe lanes, to follow received wisdom. But we made this film anyway, against the odds,” Cheng shared.

“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.”

Now in its 24th edition, NYAFF is North America’s leading showcase of Asian cinema.
