While the jury is still out on whether virtual reality is the future of film, some of Hollywood's biggest filmmakers are dedicating a lot of time to the medium. Deadline reports that two-time Oscar-winning director Alejandro González Iñárritu is teaming up with three-time Oscar winning cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki to work on a new VR short.

It will focus on "the intense and excruciating experience of a group of immigrants and refugees crossing the border between Mexico and the United States" and sees Iñárritu and Lubezki reunite after have previously worked together on the critically-acclaimed The Revenant and Birdman.
