Martin Beek (S.I.C.) (Nov. 18, 1962) is a traditionally schooled cinematographer from the Netherlands with over 30 years of experience in the field of filmmaking. Being a pioneer of computer-controlled camera techniques (Motion Control and "Go Motion") for several feature films in the '90-s, he has shot hundreds of visual effects- and animation sequences for Marin County VFX, Meddings Magic Camera Co., and as a free-lancer under the name "Marvels Visual Effects".

In 1999 Martin was rewarded with a certificate of recognition by Steven Spielberg for filming over 50 interviews with holocaust survivors (as camera operator) for "Survivors of the Shoah".

Via his production company Marvels Film, Martin produces TV documentaries, shorts, commercials, and music videos. Recently, Martin put his Arriflex camera in a museum and switched to digital filmmaking.

In 2012 Martin directed his first feature film "Littekens" (En.: "Scars") and in 2021 he co-directed the award-winning feature "Heinz 1945".

In 2019 Martin Beek entered the Society of Independent Cinematographers S.I.C.
