Queen of the Oil Patch, a factual series from co-creator/writer/director Frederick Kroetsch (NSI Business for Producers), is currently in production on its second season.

In the show, businessperson Massey Whiteknife works in northern Alberta’s oil sands. He’s got an idea that will push the boundaries and buttons of just about every person doing business in this rugged region: he’s introducing a fresh face to take over his company. Iceis Rain is a free-spirited female recording artist looking for a change. The thing is, Iceis and Massey are the same person.

Massey is Two-Spirited and, at night, it’s Iceis who often hits the town. Now, Iceis is about to take on the business scene in Fort McMurray.

The series was inspired by the TELUS STORYHIVE Queer Places episode profiling Iceis Rain. The first season of Queen of the Oil Patch is available to watch on APTN’s streaming platform.
