There’s a DVD series called “Sundance Festival Favorites,” and the distributor is the curiously-named Genius Products, Inc. Curious because one of the titles, which is due for release on 10.25, is Jill Spreicher’s Clockwatchers(’98), a comedy about office angst and girl empowerment that costarred Toni Collette, Parker Posey and Lisa Kudrow. Curious because Clockwatchers wasn’t even a slight favorite at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival…it died there. The word was so negative that it took another year and a half for the film to find its way into theatres. It opened on 5.15.98.
