She recently finished shooting Risk/Reward, a documentary about Women on Wall Street for Oxygen Media, as well as three "True Life" documentary specials for MTV. Wade was writer/director and co-editor of the 1999 Cinemax documentary Grist For The Mill, which The Hollywood Reporter called "a delight...full of quirky moments and clever humor" and Variety called "a jewel...extremely comical." She was co-producer and the principal verite cinematographer for the 1998 PBS documentary Taken In: The Lives of America's Foster Children, which was awarded a Columbia-DuPont Award for Excellence in Journalism.

Wade teaches documentary film production at Film/Video Arts in New York.

She received a BA cum laude from Smith College and an MA in Documentary Film Production from Stanford University. Wade lives with her husband in New York City. A longtime social activist and self-professed "organizational wonk," it is only natural that Heidi Reinberg would eventually wind up a producer of social-issue documentary films.

Other current projects include: Baby I'm Yours (Consulting Producer), about first-time mothers, directed by Academy Award nominee Wendy Ettinger for Oxygen; Women & I and Portrait of My Teacher (Consulting Producer), both directed by Jennifer Fox; and Absolutely Safe? (Co-Producer), directed by Carol Ciancutti-Leyva and executive-produced by Fox. Previously, Reinberg served as Field Producer on Emmy winner Lisa Gossels' (The Children of Chabannes) most recent documentary Imagining Peace. In addition to her producing duties, Reinberg serves on the Board of Directors and teaches a variety of Producing classes at Film/Video Arts, the largest nonprofit media arts center in the New York region. She is the owner of two cats, Chelsea and Christine, both of whom she adopted from the ASPCA.
