Sparta and VEEPS have unveiled the world premiere of Scenic Drive, a striking new documentary centered on frontman Jim Ward. Shot in stark black and white, the 40-minute film captures Ward returning home to El Paso, retracing formative steps while preparing for the next chapter of the band’s journey. The result is intimate, reflective, and quietly powerful.
Scenic Drive follows Ward on both a literal and emotional road trip. Revisiting songs from earlier in Sparta’s catalog, he connects past and present as the band moves toward a forthcoming record. The film acknowledges that growth does not erase history. It honors it. Watching Ward revisit these spaces and songs feels deeply human and unexpectedly moving.
The global premiere is streaming now on VEEPS, with a limited edition Scenic Drive t-shirt and bundle available for pre-order. The documentary stands as a poetic meditation on time, memory, and creative evolution.
