Queue FileUpload(s) for large data (videos/images)

I have run into a situation that I have searched far and wide but can't see an answer for.

Imagine you need to upload a 100MB video to your S3 bucket via the FileUpload component. This will upload say up to 80MB to S3 before the server gateway response times out with a 504.

Instead of having this happen directly in the request, is there an obvious way we can queue uploads and job them from this component? Or chunk the uploads somehow?

I've tried doing this locally by sending the following snippet to the job, but I'm hit with serialization errors that are related to both the $file and $component. 

$this->saveUploadedFileUsing(static function (BaseFileUpload $component, TemporaryUploadedFile $file): ?string {
    try {
        if (!$file->exists()) {
            return null;
        }
    } catch (UnableToCheckFileExistence $exception) {
        return null;
    }

    // dispatch rest of logic in job
    Job::dispatch($file, $component);

    // Error: Serialization of 'Closure' is not allowed


Not a whizz kid with Livewire, so if anyone can help out that would be amazing. I imagine this is a problem a lot of people have run into, any answers appreciated.
