Kelly Ann-Bohn
Director of Operations - kelly@plazamac.org
With over 20 years of experience in the film, television, and music industries, Kelly has built a diverse and dynamic career spanning multiple creative sectors. She began her journey in Los Angeles, working as a Writer's Assistant in film and television for major studios, including Walt Disney, Columbia TriStar, Paramount, and networks such as CBS and A&E.
At A&E, Kelly played a key role in production, serving as On-Set Guest Relations and Production Assistant for notable programs such as Bio Today, Breakfast with the Arts, and American Justice. Her extensive on-set experience helped her hone her skills in both creative production and the logistics of high-profile television.
Kelly’s passion for music led her to a prominent role in the music industry as well. She worked with TVT Records on the Vans Warped Tour, where she managed promotions for new artists and traveled the country. Her career in music also included serving as a tour manager for up-and-coming artists from Denmark, overseeing national and international tours.
A true champion of the arts, Kelly’s love for live music inspired her to create and produce the first live music venue in Long Island City (LIC), Queens—dedicated to booking and promoting local bands. She continues to support the arts through fundraising events for Northwell Health and private businesses across Southampton, leveraging her background in entertainment to bring together musicians and talent for worthy causes.

Martin McMillan
Technical Support - martinmcmillan@plazamac.org
Martin McMillan is our go to for technical support. He obtained a BSSE in Electrical Engineering from Duke University and holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Yale. Martin helps The Plaza stay up to date in technology by doing things like installing raspberry pi machines to help our outdoor screens run, or setting up internet connections so that we could have a summer documentary class at Isabella Rossellini’s farm. Most people in New York are surprised to learn that Martin grew up in Mobile, Alabama. Since then he has moved around for school and work as a physical chemist at places such as Kodak and pharmaceutical companies. Martin loves the intellectual curiosity of The Plaza’s patrons, and enjoys seeing them talk about films and think critically about what they’re watching on the screen.
Matthew Myers
Graphics, Web and Social Media - matthewmyers@plazamac.org
Matt is the resident graphic designer, web and social media manager at The Plaza. He creates all of our wonderful marketing materials and maintains our website for all of your movie and event needs. When he’s not busy creating things, he’s managing the the box office most evenings and weekends—making sure that our patrons are feeling welcomed, comfortable, and ready to see a movie! Matt graduated from Farmingdale State University with a BA in Visual Communications. He is a movie lover at heart and a dad of two. Since his girls are little, Matt rarely gets to see movies in theaters other than “Frozen” so he enjoys getting to see the occasional new film at The Plaza. When asked about his favorite part of working at The Plaza, Matt explained “I love how generous and supportive our members and volunteers are. Everything they do really shows how much they love The Plaza and want to see it succeed. It's really great to see the passion in this community!”
Neil Cremmins
Box Office Support - neil@plazamac.org
It seemed a bit predestined that Neil Cremmins would find his way to the Plaza Cinema MAC. As a young boy, and already an avid reader, Neil discovered classic films like The Adventures of Robin Hood (Errol Flynn), The Pride of the Yankees (Gary Cooper) and many films in the Sherlock Holmes series, starring Basil Rathbone. He was hooked, and a life of loving films and, especially, going to the movies, began. Finding a girl (and a future wife) who also loved going to the movies in future Plaza Volunteer Cathy followed. Together, they passed their love of movies to their two daughters, Kaitlin and Christina, and look forward to doing the same with their granddaughter, Libby, and their soon-to-be-born 2nd grandchild.
Feeling a genuine appreciation for all that the Plaza Cinema offers the community, Neil truly enjoys spreading the word about what makes the theater so amazing. And he relishes interacting with the dedicated volunteers and valued guests of the Plaza Cinema.
