To find the total budget for the student film, we can set up an equation based on the information given.
Let \( B \) be the total budget. According to the problem, \( 37\% \) of the total budget is equal to \( 481 \) dollars. This can be expressed mathematically as:
\[
0.37B = 481
\]
To find the total budget \( B \), we can divide both sides of the equation by \( 0.37 \):
\[
B = \frac{481}{0.37}
\]
Now, calculating the right side:
\[
B \approx \frac{481}{0.37} \approx 1300
\]
Thus, the total budget for their student film is approximately \( 1300 \) dollars.
