Former vaudevillian and amateur filmmaker [[Sid Laverents]] wrote, directed and starred in ''[[{{PAGENAME}}]]'', a short film from 1970 that features a dozen split-screens of him playing a variety of musical instruments simultaneously. Each of Laverents's musicians displays a different character with its own costume and hairstyle as they unite to perform the song "Nola," a novelty ragtime number popularized in the 1920s. Coupling his own ingratiating persona, painstaking in-camera multiple exposures and complex overdubbing, Laverents created a film that may be amateur but not amateurish.
''{{PAGENAME}}'' was added to the [[National Film Registry]] in 2000.
