I was very sad to hear of the passing of Wayne Static from Static-X. For those of you who know my story, my VERY first professional directing job was a Static-X music video. At the time, I was a tape vault assistant at THE FIRM, a musical management company. I was sitting in a managers meeting helping them with AV when I heard from one of the managers that the director for the Static-X music video fell out, and they were unsure what to do. I raised my hand and said, Ill do it. At this time, I had never directed ANYTHING... (outside of a couple of bad short films). The co-owner of The Firm laughed at me, then told me to meet him in his office after the meeting. There was a collective gasp from the room. I was SURELY being fired for talking out of place. Instead, Jeff gave me Waynes number and said, Ill give you a shot, call Wayne and figure it out. One week later I was shooting the music video for SO. As fate would have it, I would reconnect with Static-X a few years later for the SAW III soundtrack. Wayne, I thank you for allowing me a doorway in to doing what I love. My thoughts go to his friends, fans, and family. Darren bloody-disgusting/editorials/3320115/static-xs-relationship-horror-memorial-wayne-static/
