Matt Zane has launched an Indiegogo for an unauthorized documentary on Wayne Static (Static-X) and Tera Wray. The filmmaker, who was a close friend of the late married couple, is planning to begin production on the project in January. Zane’s decision to move forward with the film comes after Static and Wray’s families recently objected to it.

Zane said the following:

“Wayne Static and Tera Wray asked me to create this about their life.

I am an award winning director with hundreds of music videos to my name as well as two documentaries. Some people I have worked with in the past are Zakk Wylde, John 5, DMC and many more.

My hope is that this project will present Wayne and Tera‘s relationship in a way that they wanted the world to see them.

The funds will be used to provide filming and editing costs. The goal is to complete the project within a year’s time.

There are some great perks and you will be directly responsible for helping Wayne and Tera‘s vision become a reality.”

He also added the following in a new video:

“My name is Matt Zane and it is my goal with your help to complete a documentary that Wayne Static and Tera Wray asked me to film about their life.

Wayne hired me for every film related project after he left Static-X, including the ‘Pighammer‘ promo. The ‘Assassins Of Youth‘ video, and his last music video, ‘Noise Revolution‘”‘ with DMC. We were never able to complete the project in 2014 due to funding, but we did have plans to continue filming at a later time.

Unfortunately, that never happened due to Wayne‘s untimely passing. But now, with your help, Wayne and Tera‘s story can finally be told. I knew Wayne for 15 years and actually met and worked with his wife, Tera, before they were married.

We became close over the course of their seven-year relationship. And I was with them during pivotal moments, which gives me the ability to provide a unique perspective of their lives. I also have never before seen footage that will be included in a documentary for the first time.

Another exciting aspect of this project is that I worked on music with Wayne that is unreleased that will be featured within the film in some form. Please join me on this journey, creating a documentary for my friends Wayne and Tera, presenting their life in a way that they would have wanted to be seen: as themselves, madly in love, obsessed with each other in a wild world that they created. I thank everyone for their support and I’m looking forward to getting started on this amazing and exciting new project.”
