Luis Montoya

Luis Montoya is a Costa Rican producer and graphic designer who transforms the country's rich history into engaging videos for YouTube, under the pseudonym Lucius Alexandros. Over the past five years, he has created more than 50 short films that bring to life historical events such as the 1948 War and the arrival of Spanish conquistadors. Montoya's work aims to make history accessible and entertaining, using actors—many of whom volunteer—while he narrates and produces the content. His innovative approach seeks to educate younger audiences who may not be inclined to read traditional historical texts, emphasizing the importance of understanding Costa Rican identity within a broader historical context. Montoya's latest series is set to premiere on March 30, focusing on key historical moments with a combination of factual storytelling and dramatic interpretation.
