and if you’re not sure, just

follow the adage:

If it Grows it Goes.

Invasion of the Bucket Snatchers delves into the world of composting, through the lens of Code of Return Compost, a Savannah based composting company. This film ultimately delivers a powerful message: it is the small hands that move the wheels of the world. They do it because they must. Even the small, unconventional acts of sustainability can spark significant change. Despite the challenges posed by city ordinances and limited awareness, the unwavering determination of the Code of Return team prevails. As the documentary unfolds, it becomes clear that Code of Return Compost is more than just a business, it is a beacon of hope. We can all contribute to a greener, more sustainable world, one bucket at a time.

Code of Return is a savannah - based composting company founded by Maria Vaughan and Michael Wedum. Since 2019, they’ve diverted over 1 million pounds of food waste and turned it into soil!

Since 2019, they have been providing a sustainable alternative to food waste while giving back.

I met Michael and Maria at a time when I needed them the most. I aspired to change the world, but instead, the world changed me. I discovered hope in the most unexpected place, and my vision for this documentary is that it will do the same for others. I've spent almost my entire life in Savannah, Georgia, and my biggest dream has always been to venture out into the world on great adventures. It wasn't until I crossed paths with Michael and Maria that I truly grasped the concept of resilience; we were battling a force greater than ourselves. What do you do when those in positions of authority uphold a 'well, that won't happen to us because we're different' mindset? When you begin to realize that your home is vulnerable, the saying 'think globally, act locally' takes on new meaning. Turn your attention to those who are actively making a difference, and I guarantee that they will welcome you into their community with open arms.
