From The Newsroom: Translating Deep Vellum; Producing Indie Films

Jerome Weeks
/
KERA News
Will Evans' Deep Vellum imprint will offer translations of major works from all over the world.

Today: how the little guy is changing what you read, watch and eat. We know Dallas wants to be seen as a world-class city. For years, that’s been the stated priority. One young Dallasite has an idea for getting there: it’s more about communication than competition with other places. He’s just started a company to publish English translations of books from France, Russia and Mexico. Jerome Weeks talks to Will Evans of Deep Vellum. We'll also hear from Dallas native Doug Mankoff about his time in Hollywood, producing films like Nebraska.
