Looking for a fun road trip to kick off summer? How about a drive-in movie in a lovely coastal Maine town?
Nine June, an Italian restaurant in Rockport, is co-hosting, in partnership with the Camden International Film Festival and Points North Institute, a screening of “The Truffle Hunters,” a documentary about the lives and culture of the elderly men who hunt for white Alba truffles in the forests of northern Italy. The film will be shown at 8:30 p.m. June 3 at the Shotwell Drive-in Theater, 40 West St., a new Rockport drive-in. Tickets cost $20 per car. Buy them online at shotwelldrivein.eventive.org.

Martin Beavers didn’t know what he wanted to do with his life until he moved to Maine four years ago to be closer to his father. He worked a lot of different jobs for a while, but eventually landed at The Lunch Box in Lewiston, where he cooked the same soul food his mother used to make for him when he was growing up in the Bronx.
