BUBBA shows the portrait of an old man (the filmmaker's grandfather), altered in several, increasingly abstracting ways. The first way the man is shown is through composite imaging, and the use of masks while shooting 16mm on a Bolex camera, achieving surreal, distorted, cubist-like impressions of the face. The second effect was achieved by sandwiching the negative print and positive print of the original portraits and printing them using a Model J printer. The third, and final effect was generated by hand processing the negative/positive hybrid, alongside negatives from a previous film. The concluding effect is a feeling of the loosening of ties to the material world, as images begin to appear and disappear and change, the very physical, concrete idea of a man's portrait becomes distorted, jagged, and ghostly. The same set of images come and go, bringing into focus the viewer's own memory. The film asks us, 'How will the memory of our loved ones persist with us through time? How will they change?'
