Heavy Magazine Features Early Look at Matt Zane’s Upcoming Wayne Static Documentary and Newly Unearthed 1999 Footage

Heavy Magazine has published a feature on filmmaker Matt Zane and his upcoming documentary examining the relationship between Wayne Static and Tera Wray. Although full production is slated to begin in January, early work has already led to a major archival discovery that’s capturing attention inside the metal community.

While digitizing hours of old tapes filmed with the couple, Zane uncovered a previously unseen interview with Wayne Static from 1999. The footage, untouched for more than 25 years, was recorded shortly after Static-X completed its first run on Ozzfest. The interview shows Wayne at a pivotal moment as the band’s rise was just taking shape.

“I couldn’t believe it,” Zane told Heavy Magazine. “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.”

Although the documentary centers on Wayne’s relationship with Tera Wray years later, Zane says the 1999 footage adds valuable context and shows another side of 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 humour,” Zane explained. “It adds context, and I’ll definitely be including some of it.”

Additional details surrounding the documentary will be announced as production continues.
