Sarah Harralson launches biopic short film and companion EP

Nashville artist Sarah Harralson has released a new biopic short film, Just the Beginning, along with a companion EP tied to her 30-year story in music. The project premiered May 13 in Nashville and is now being positioned for film festivals, short-film theaters and touring promotion.

Why it matters: - The project extends Sarah Harralson’s music career into film, adding a visual narrative to her catalog and public profile. - The release pairs a short documentary with an EP, creating a cross-platform rollout that can support festival bookings, media coverage and music discovery. - The film also highlights Harralson’s volunteer work with Musicians on Call, which can broaden attention beyond the music release.
