A recent graduate of Becker High School is hitting the big time with a full feature documentary on one of the most inspirational people in the State of Minnesota.

Matthew Warhol, a 2025 graduate of BHS, has been feverishly collaborating with numerous friends and associates to put together a motion picture depicting the life of Dwight Lundeen and his association with Fellowship of Christian Athletes.  It’s entitled, Field of Faith and is planned to have a release in the spring.

Warhol’s company, American Motion Picture, was birthed this past year when Warhol was in a media class at school. He and his classmates and friends were looking for a subject for a film study when Warhol started kicking around the idea of doing a feature on the beloved Dwight Lundeen, who in fact had been Matthew’s head coach while he played football for the 2025 State Champions where Becker beat Totino Grace for the state title last fall.

Warhol has always been interested in the movies and in theater as he grew up. In the fourth and fifth grade he took community theater classes and even took acting classes in the city to see where his ambitions might lead. He began getting involved in short films and started looking at professional modeling and acting — leading to auditions for jobs in Los Angeles. 

Then he started thinking he needed to be more practical and started looking into going to college in Montana in the field of mechanical engineering. But the movie bug wouldn’t let him and he returned to his first love and began seriously considering making movies.

“I started by making movies on my Iphone and Ipad and worked with Mr. Changas in media production at Becker,” Warhol said. “I then got connected with three friends and started working on Field of Faith.”

In January of 2025, Warhol and his team began production on Field of Faith, a movie about Coach Dwight Lundeen, and how he has shaped the lives of thousands of young men and women on and off the field.

Field of Faith is the story of one of the state’s greatest high school football coaches to ever work the gridiron. Lundeen started the Becker Football program in 1970 at the age of 22 years old with only 17 players. The school was very small with about 30 students in each grade.  

Lundeen has grown the football program at Becker into one of Minnesota’s powerhouse programs, winning four state championships, as well as 20 section championships, 22 conference championships and nine prep bowl appearances. 

Lundeen’s impact also extends off the field as his influence has trickled down to his coaching staff who have gone on to have the same success as Dwight in their own coaching careers. In his tenure, Lundeen has helped over thousands of young men go on to become quality fathers, husbands, brothers, friends and members of their communities. 

Warhol isn’t in the field of movie-making for the “one and done” prospect but has a plan to continue to develop stories for the screen through his dreams and passions.

“We have a decade-long plan to try and revive the media,” said Warhol. “We want to do faith-based movies and documentaries through  our studio.”

Warhol said not all Hollywood productions are bad but there’s definitely room for improvement.

“Take Lord of the Rings for instance,” he said. “That movie carries a fundamentally religious tone because its themes and symbolism are deeply influenced by Tolkien’s Christian faith.”

Warhol says LOR has the obvious battle of good and evil as well as the concepts of sacrifice, humility and key Christian-like themes and spiritual impressions, all woven into the narrative’s fabric.

Warhol also wants to take on the opportunity of reaching kids in his productions in the future.

“I think Disney and Hollywood are veering away from morally sound movies and I think we need to set that straight,” he said.

Warhol also mentioned how Charlie Kirk has been extremely influential and inspiring in his life and credits Kirk with keeping his own vision of doing good in the forefront of his dreams.

Warhol’s documentary explores how Lundeen’s commitment to ministry and mentorship has guided his successful career and profoundly impacted generations of young people. Instead of focusing solely on his football success, the film highlights how Lundeen’s purpose is to help his players become great adults, husbands, fathers, and community members.

His team members include, Scott Doss, Emily Kutzler, Aiden Radeke, Carter Reckelberg, Kaden Gervasi, Josh Coen and Logan Massey.

The movie will release for free in the spring of 2026. To check out the trailer, visit: www.youtube.com/shorts/Ud9Esjuc1xc. OR go to Warhol’s American Motion Picture website at: americanmotionpicture.studio.
