Actor and producer Mark Wahlberg was spotted filming and working in La Grande, Oregon, on Monday.

Wahlberg is working on an upcoming film project about Jadin Bell, a student at La Grande High School who committed suicide and his father Joe Bell who undertook a walk across the country to raise awareness about bullying and suicide.

The movie is about Jadin and Joe Bell that made headlines in La Grande as Jadin, a sophomore at La Grande High School had committed suicide.

Jadin's Father Joe undertook a walk across the country to bring awareness to bullying and sadly was killed outside of Kit Carson Colorado in 2013.

The movie doesn't have a release date yet but has been in development since 2015 by the producers of "Brokeback Mountain" and appears to be filming in La Grande.

It's a tragic story on all fronts with one silver lining: Faces for Change created a scholarship in honor of Jadin Bell.
