As students, Dale and Cole completed their first short film, "Cream Soda," in 1976. This documentary revealed the demands on women employed in Toronto-based body-rub parlors. Meanwhile, their next film, "Minimum Charge No Cover" (1976), explored the lived experience of homosexuals, drag queens, sex workers, and substance users.
