A powerful cinematic story of survival, transformation, and the creation of an alter ego that changes everything.
Inspired by the true life story of Massey Whiteknife and Iceis Rain
Raindrops is a feature film in development that tells the raw, unfiltered story of survival, identity, and the creation of an alter ego that becomes a lifeline.
Based on the true life of Massey Whiteknife—a Mikisew Cree Two-Spirit survivor, entrepreneur, and performer—the film follows his journey from childhood trauma in Northern Alberta to becoming a national voice for resilience and healing.
At the heart of the story is Iceis Rain, Massey's fearless alter ego: a Two-Spirit recording artist who embodies everything Massey fought to protect and reclaim.
This is a story about becoming whole by splitting in two.
Core Themes:
• Survival & Resilience — A story of enduring the unthinkable and choosing to live fully
• Two-Spirit Identity — Honoring the historic role of Two-Spirit people as cultural leaders and artists
• The Power of Alter Egos — How creating Iceis Rain became the key to Massey's survival
• Music as Medicine — The role of performance in healing trauma
