FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WAYNE STATIC AND TERA WRAY UNAUTHORIZED DOCUMENTARY SET FOR JANUARY 9 PREMIERE IN LOS ANGELES

Filmmaker Matt Zane moves forward with the controversial documentary amid ongoing legal proceedings, public scrutiny, and reported threats.

LOS ANGELES, CA — Filmmaker Matt Zane has announced that his unauthorized documentary chronicling the lives of late STATIC-X frontman Wayne Static and his wife, Tera Wray, will premiere January 9, 2027, in Los Angeles, California.

The premiere comes amid an ongoing legal dispute between Zane and STATIC-X. On August 20, 2026, STATIC-X and associated parties filed a lawsuit against Zane seeking damages exceeding $1 million. The complaint includes allegations involving copyright infringement and other claims, which remain part of an ongoing legal dispute.

Zane maintains that his documentary is an important personal project honoring Wayne and Tera, whose lives and relationship he says he was asked to document. The filmmaker also says he has faced significant online backlash and threatening messages surrounding his decision to continue with the project.

Despite the controversy, Zane remains committed to bringing the story to audiences.

"It has been an incredibly difficult journey getting to this point, but regardless of everything I'm going through, I wasn't going to let Wayne and Tera down. Their story deserves to be told, and it's what they wanted," said Zane.

The private premiere event will take place in Los Angeles, featuring a post-screening Q&A with the director and select members of the film's cast. Press representatives and fans interested in attending are welcome to request access, although seating will be limited.

Those interested in attending the premiere can email WayneTeraRSVP@gmail.com for RSVP information.

Following the Los Angeles premiere, the documentary is expected to be made available online for free, giving audiences around the world an opportunity to watch the film.

The January 9 premiere marks an important milestone for Zane and the documentary, as the filmmaker moves forward with a project he believes will offer a personal perspective on the lives, relationship, and legacy of Wayne Static and Tera Wray.
