Wayne Static and Tera Wray documentary crowdfunding will start next year
Matt Zane is in charge of an unapproved documentary about the sometimes tumultuous relationship between late Static-X leader Wayne Static and his late wife Tera Wray. As reported by theprp, the latter, who is directing and producing the movie, was a friend of the couple. Additionally, he has collaborated with Wayne behind the camera on previous music video projects. Like Wray, Zane has a long history in the adult film industry and has led the industrial metal band Society 1 for a considerable amount of time. January is when production on this movie is anticipated to start, and Zane intends to start a crowdfunding effort at the same time.
Filmmaker Matt Zane has announced the launch of a crowdfunding campaign in January 2026 for a new documentary exploring the intense and often turbulent relationship between Wayne Static (Static-X) and his wife Tera Wray.
Production is scheduled to begin in January 2026, with Zane — a longtime friend and collaborator of Wayne’s — directing and producing the project.
“Most people are unaware that I knew Wayne for about 14 years, and I actually knew his wife Tera before him,” says Zane. “We were all close, and I worked on every project he did after leaving Static-X.”
Zane previously directed all of Wayne’s solo videos, including the “Pighammer Promo,” “Assassins of Youth,” and Wayne’s last music video “Noise Revolution” with DMC. At the time of Wayne’s death, the trio were developing additional projects, including an unfinished docuseries that aimed to chronicle the couple’s life together.
“I filmed bits and pieces over the years, but we needed a few solid weeks in the desert at their house to finish it — that was the plan. Unfortunately, funding fell through,” Zane explains. “I know this is something Wayne and Tera wanted to get done, and they wanted me to do it. I feel I owe them this — to tell their story the way they wanted it told.”
Zane also confirmed the film will feature previously unreleased music created with Wayne.
“There’s about an EP’s worth of material Wayne and I recorded for a movie Tera was doing, but his label stepped in and stopped it. Some of those ideas ended up on Pighammer, but the rest has been sitting in my archives. I’m revisiting it now and will finish some of it with help from AI technology.”
The crowdfunding campaign will officially launch January 2026, with details and updates coming soon.
Zane is also seeking to connect (through the EveryoneDiesTheMovie.com contact button) with friends, colleagues, and associates who were close to Wayne and Tera during the final seven years of their lives.
Please note: The families of Wayne Static and Tera Wray, as well as the original members of Static-X, are not involved in or endorsing the project.
