FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Unreleased Wayne Static Footage Discovered During Early Documentary Preparation
Previously unseen 1999 interview surfaces during archival digitization

As preliminary work quietly gets underway on an upcoming documentary exploring the relationship between Wayne Static and Tera Wray, filmmaker Matt Zane has uncovered rare, unreleased footage of Wayne Static that has remained unseen for more than 25 years.

Although the documentary is not slated to officially enter production until January, Zane has already begun the process of digitizing hours of archival tapes filmed with the couple. During this early review, one tape stood out from the rest, marked only with a handwritten label that read: “1999.”

Once digitized, the tape revealed a previously unseen interview with Wayne Static, filmed shortly after STATIC-X completed its first run on Ozzfest in 1999. The footage captures Wayne at a pivotal moment, right as the band was gaining traction and his career was beginning its rapid ascent.

“I couldn’t believe it,” said Zane. “It was raw footage from the first time I officially filmed Wayne. Almost 20 minutes of him right when everything was starting to happen. The tape is over 25 years old and it still plays.”

While the documentary’s primary focus centers on the relationship between Wayne Static and Tera Wray, the newly discovered interview predates that chapter of Wayne’s life by several years. Despite that, Zane believes the footage offers meaningful insight into Wayne beyond the public persona.

“There are a few things in there that really show Wayne’s depth as a person and his sense of humor,” Zane explained. “It adds context, and I’ll definitely be including some of it.”

Further details regarding the documentary will be announced as production progresses.

According to Zane, the film is intended to be a personal, emotionally driven account centered on the bond between Wayne Static and Tera Wray—a story he maintains the couple explicitly wanted him to tell.

The crowdfunding campaign for the documentary is currently live on IndieGoGo.
