Production

Singaporean independent filmmaker Cheng Chai Hong began writing the script for We Can Save The World!!! in 2023. [1] The film was also Cheng's directorial debut. [2]

The film's budget was not publicly disclosed, [3] although it was described as "lean" [1] and some of it had been raised during a 2023 crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. [3]

Singaporean actor Noah Yap played the lead role of Ryan, "a disillusioned public servant who works at the local town council." [1] Malaysian actor Teoh Jun Vinh was cast as Peng, "a homeless man claiming to be an alien stranded on Earth." [4] The main cast also included Fauzi Azzhar, Xuan Ong, and Daisy Irani. [1]

Release

The film premiered at the New York Asian Film Festival on 17 July 2025. [3] It was distributed by Singaporean film distributor Anticipate Pictures [5] and initially scheduled for theatrical release in Singapore on 1 August 2025, at the independent cinema The Projector's Cathay Cineleisure Orchard premises. After both The Projector and Cathay Cineplexes suddenly ceased operations, the film's release date was pushed back to 18 September 2025. [3]
