He then coordinated the Los Angeles production unit art department for the Mike Judge comedy Idiocracy, which was filmed in 2004 but not released until 2006. His first film as an assistant art director was the acclaimed 2005 comic drama The Chumscrubber.

Abrams and many other members of the Star Trek production staff as an assistant art director on another Paramount Pictures film, Mission: Impossible III (2006). He was also an assistant art director on the Paramount films War of the Worlds (2005) and Failure to Launch (2006). Beech collaborated with Keith Cunningham and Star Trek set decorator Dawn Brown for the first time on the 2007 Warner Bros. film Ocean's Eleven.
