Summary:Written and directed by Morgan J. Freeman. Produced by Andrea Sperling, Nadia Leonelli and Michael Burns. A Samuel Goldwyn Film release. Rated R (language). Running time: 93 minutes. Exclusively at the Village Art Theatre, Chicago. He's a small-town dreamer who wants to fulfill his deceased father's plans to create a water park on the outskirts of Baxter in the California desert. In "Desert Blue," Freeman (not to be confused with the actor, the star of "Driving Miss Daisy" and "Deep Impact") keeps the narrative low-key and Mayberry-paced, like the community of Baxter itself.
