About Ryen McPherson
- Bumfights: A Cause for Concern is a film produced by Indecline Films.
- The video features primarily high school fights caught on tape and homeless men (most notably Rufus Hannah and Donnie Brennan) in the San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas metropolitan areas attempting amateur stunts in a style inspired by the popular MTV series Jackass.
- Bumfights: A Cause for Concern (2002), was produced by Ryen McPherson, with friends Zachary Bubeck, Daniel J.
- Tanner, and Michael Slyman, as Indecline Films.
- Contrary to its title, the video does not depict homeless men actually fighting, but instead a compilation of street fights caught on tape and homeless men performing in skits and stunts. The video series immediately gained criticism.
- The US-based National Coalition for the Homeless (NCH), a homeless advocacy group, has stated that the Bumfights videos foster contempt for the homeless and dehumanize them.
- In April 2006, the four original filmmakers agreed not to produce any more Bumfights videos or distribute videos already made, and to pay three homeless men depicted in the videos, under a settlement announced shortly before a lawsuit was due to go to trial.
