Founded by Levi Tang, Marek Toews
and Justin Arsenault
Creative Director Levi Tang, photographer & filmmaker Marek Toews, and athlete Justin Arsenault have launched KILL YOUR COMFORT
- a new kind of creative studio that brings together sport, culture, and craft to tell stories with lasting impact.

KYC operates at the edge of traditional creative models: an Australian born, globally focused studio that helps outdoor brands, creators, and athletes express who they really are through honest storytelling and original ideas. Built from ongoing collaborations across film, photography, and adventure, KYC reflects the inner world of a team who live the “Kill Your Comfort” lifestyle on and off the mountain, alongside filmmakers, photographers, and athletes who help make the KYC brand.


KYC is driven by a creator-first mindset: human, grounded, and deeply collaborative. We are not a flashy front-facing studio built on hype or celebrity; we are an engine led by filmmakers, photographers, and visualisers who live in the worlds of outdoor sport, storytelling, and brand building.
KYC partners with outdoor brands, tourism boards, and athletes to make work that feels authentic, not staged. From short films and launch campaigns to full story worlds around a single trail or summit, we build visuals and narratives that people remember. We bring a point of view that can stand the test of time to every project, wherever it lives.


Marek brings a rare blend of precision and instinct to the KYC studio. Known for his refined eye as both a photographer and filmmaker, he approaches every project with the mindset of an athlete. Discipline, rhythm, and repetition shape the way he builds images that feel alive.
His work moves between outdoor grit and clean commercial polish, always grounded in a deep respect for craft. Whether he is running with a camera through wild terrain or shaping a controlled studio frame, Marek captures motion, emotion, and atmosphere with clarity.
As a co-founder and CCO at KYC, he helps steer the creative direction of the studio. His curiosity, his ability to translate ideas into strong visual language, and his hands-on approach are at the core of KYC’s identity. Marek represents the spirit of the team: committed, inventive, and always chasing the next frame.
