And while the bar never came to be, she did end up founding a commercial film production company, Pioneer Productions, instead.  

Through the adventures of running a production company and developing the local film service business Webster met her Hungarian architect/art director husband and together they moved to Argentina to set up offices and to expand the production business to South America.  

After 11 years in Buenos Aires and the birth of their two children Jennifer returned to Budapest 5 years ago and began to develop small real estate and interior design businesses as well as a project based on her passion for healthy eating.  

Slowly her new venture gained shape and evolved into the launch of the Good Karma brand, a fresh and healthy fast casual restaurant serving up modern Indian inspired food.  

With the goal of nourishing and inspiring, Good Karma has just opened it’s 2nd  flagship location near Szabadsag Ter and Webster now has her sites on rolling out the brand across Europe and the US in the coming years ahead.

1. When did you arrive in Hungary and what brought you here?
Originally in 1993 to open a bar with friends!  Soon thereafter we decided to switch to a Coffee bar instead.  But during the development of that project I got invited into an advertising film production shot by my previous employer, Ogilvy & Mather, and through that I met two Hungarian women with whom I decided to open an advertising production company called Pioneer Productions.
