Static property state does not persist

I don't know if this is a general PHP thing or has got to do with the way Filament works or I'm doing something wrong but somehow the state doesn't persist. I'm setting a static property in the getSearchResultsUsing() function and afterwards retrieve that property in the afterStateUpdated() function but it errors with the message "must not be accessed before initialization". 
Forms\Components\Select::make('title')
    ->required()
    ->searchable()
    ->reactive()
    ->getSearchResultsUsing(function (string $search) {
        $tmdb = new TMDBConnector;
        $request = new SearchMovieRequest($search);

        $response = $tmdb->send($request);

        $body = $response->body();
        $decodedBody = $response->json();

        $results = collect($decodedBody['results']);

        static::$searchResults = $results;

        return $results->pluck('title', 'id');
    })
    ->afterStateUpdated(function (Closure $set, $state) {
        dd(static::$searchResults);
    })
Forms\Components\Select::make('title')
    ->required()
    ->searchable()
    ->reactive()
    ->getSearchResultsUsing(function (string $search) {
        $tmdb = new TMDBConnector;
        $request = new SearchMovieRequest($search);

        $response = $tmdb->send($request);

        $body = $response->body();
        $decodedBody = $response->json();

        $results = collect($decodedBody['results']);

        static::$searchResults = $results;

        return $results->pluck('title', 'id');
    })
    ->afterStateUpdated(function (Closure $set, $state) {
        dd(static::$searchResults);
    })
What is happening here? What can I do to save data between the functions or am I doing something completely wrong conceptually. Thanks in advance!

It's a PHP thing. Those are two separate requests. One for getting the results and the next for updating the result

Okay and how would I be able to store this data between the requests? Wanted to avoid making 2 requests to the api for data that is already present in the first request.

You could use a Cache. Depending on how often the data changes You could also just cache it for some seconds
