Extreme survival series Alone Australia has no producers or directors trends now
Alone Australia has been billed as the most authentic reality series to ever grace the small screen.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, SBS head of unscripted Joseph Maxwell said there were no producers and that contestants all filmed themselves with direction.
'Once people are cast – it’s up to them what they shoot, what they say, what they do,' he said.
'There’s no producing, there’s no directing. This is the most raw, unfiltered, authentic show you can have.'
Over 10,000 people applied for the series, which is already a blockbuster hit in the States, where it airs on the History channel.
Some of the contestants barely lasted a day, while others remained outdoors for months.

SBS recently unveiled the show's official cast ahead of the March 29 premiere.
The cast includes a diverse batch of contestants, including an army veteran, an adventurist, and a wildlife biologist.
High school teacher and grandmother Beck, 42, who is First Nations, believes that her love of the land will help her win the series.
'I'm resourceful, I'm a problem solver, I'm bloody stubborn, but I'm not a survival expert,' she said in a statement.
'I've grown up camping and fishing and been out on country, I've learned from my elders and friends who are great outdoors people… though I've never been away from my partner; I'm ready to test myself!'
