"The whole thing speaks of what is most important in this tragedy, of what we forgot while looking for the guilty party, accusing one another. Straight from the Sky will be a film about ordinary people," the director said.

Matwiejczyk is one of the few Polish independent filmmakers well known by the broader audience. A screenwriter and director, he often acts as producer and editor of his pictures. In 2001 he co-founded Muflon Pictures (hwww.muflonpictures.com) production company, which produces his recent work. From 2001-2005 Matwiejczyk directed mainly comedies such as Chinacity (2001), I Know What You Did Last Winter ( 2002, Koszmar minonej zimy) and Emilia (2005). Later on he turned to dramas, with the focus on social themes such as Homo Father (2006), Beautiful (2006) and Shame (Wstyd, 2006). In 2009 he returned to parody and directed the dark comedy Peter, the 13th (Piotrek Trzynastego).
