Kendall Square: Food Trucks

Saba Ghole
Film by Omari Spears, Trevor Hoffman, and Maggie Schneider "Kendall Square: Food Trucks" is a documentary that focuses on a local food truck in Kendall Square in Cambridge, MA that is used as a focal point to understand the broader changes of Kendall Square through the recent years. On the first day of the film project, the production team goes out to explore Kendall Square not quite knowing where or how the story will develop. After wandering around the square taking shots of pedestrians, cars and landmark buildings, the team comes across a food truck called Momogoose. It's half an hour before the lunch rush, so the team quickly asks to interview one of the Momogoose employees about the food truck. After the interview, the team decides to focus the film on the food service business in the Kendall Square area as a central narrative in understanding the area's growth and change over the years. The film also documents different restaurants around the area and interviews the Executive Director of the Cambridge Redevelopment Authority.
