Story & Lesson Highlights with Cristy Coors Beasley of Beverly Hills

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Cristy Coors Beasley. Check out our conversation below.

Good morning Cristy Coors, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? Who are you learning from right now?
Literally everyone around me, as much as possible. I try to surround myself with people we are superlative to myself and absorb their knowledge, I try to see things from as many points of view as possible, and I am open to the new and now and even the improbable — As Darren Hardy writes in The Compound Effect: “According to research by social psychologist Dr. David McClelland of Harvard, [the people you habitually associate with] determine as much as 95 percent of your success or failure in life.” That’s a big effect, and choosing what that means for yourself in practical application can change the trajectory of your life, so I try to stay aware of it.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am originally from Tennessee, and now living in Los Angeles working in the entertainment industry for the past 2 decades. Specifically, I am a boutique talent manager with a small roster of actors, and producer. I am a creative and physical producer, predominantly of film. In the past 2 years I have produced 3 feature films, the first of which is releasing in theaters and on-demand platforms on 29 August 2025. The film is called AMERICAN WARRIOR, and stars Vishy Ayyar, Taylor Treadwell, Andrew Gray, Omi Vaidya, Veronica Falcón and Danny Trejo. It is a redemption story set in the world of MMA; the story of an ordinary man, an immigrant, with a troubled past who through a chance encounter in a convenience store is thrust into the limelight and gets the chance to redeem himself. It’s about finding the fire within oneself, not giving up when the odds are against you. We filmed in Chicago and Beverly Hills, and we are working on some special events around the release that are a lot of fun.

The Collaborator, based on a novel adapted to the screen and directed by Travis Hodgkins was produced right afterward, with the same producing partner – Rashaaha Shah. It is a very moving coming-of-age tale of a young man living in Kashmir on the line-of-control in the late 1990’s right as the conflict between Pakistan and India heated up. It asks the audience to really look at the choices, if any, people have who are caught in the middle of these kind of boarder conflicts.

The third film is another collaboration with Rashaaha Shah, directed by Indian mega-hit lyracist, writer and director Mayur Puri called LOST & FOUND IN KUMBH. It is a family-adventure-dramedy set in the largest gathering of humans on earth, the 2025 MahaKumbh in Prayagraj where over 680+M people went to take a dip in the holy rivers. The film stars Indian mega-star Rahul Bhat, UK’s beloved actress Katie Amess, and Indian indy darling Rajshri Deshpande and introduces two incredible child actors to the international audience – Jordy Cass and Abhisar Puri. It’s layered, totally original., visually rich, fun and often hilarious – we are editing it now and I can’t wait to see the final product!

I’m also developing a few more films in the meantime.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
As a young adult/teenager, I really believed that perfection in the pursuit would lead to perfection in the outcome. I put a lot of pressure on myself, and I would be so crestfallen if anything turned out differently than I imagined it to be.

Now, I have embraced the struggle, I consider failure a great opportunity to grow, and find joy in perfectly imperfect end results. It is easier to roll up my sleeves and just start doing the work, I don’ t need to know everything before beginning, and I learn along the way. It gives me a certain confidence, and I approach each new project knowing I can do anything I set my mind to, even if I don’t know exactly how to start.

When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
As a lifelong empath and keen observer of people, I have often felt the pain of others, the pain of injustice, and felt the need to stand up for the underdog, especially those without means or a proper advocate. As an adult, I realized that my empathy is my super-power and it is what helps drive my instincts and passions. It helps me relate to people, it helps me connect, see patterns and even tap into the divine energies around us all.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
My child had a school project for Mother’s Day, and I think he nailed it when it asked him what matters to me – he said 3 things: 1) himself (hard to argue that!) , 2) the Earth (which really surprised me that he picked up on that – I’m all about building a more sustainable future and preserving nature and our natural resources as much as possible), and 3) Movies. It made my heart so full to think that in his young life he was picking up on these passions of mine, and I thought it was really comical to see how he truly distilled all the choices to these 3 things!

Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What do you understand deeply that most people don’t?
I think the majority of people live with a lot more stability generally than what a life in entertainment provides. I think it’s hard for people to understand the hardships that come with that inherent instability, and why someone would willingly choose the path knowing the risks involved. The artform demands everything of the artist, and for anyone on the outside, the process probably isn’t terribly sensical or relatable, no matter how supportive or close to the artist they may be. To be an artist is definitely the road less traveled.
