Screenplay

My understanding with screenplays is that many (not all, but a lot) are repped by the major L.A. talent agencies. When someone from an agency contacted me about one of my shorts, they were looking for material for their screen-writing clients to adapt. And they were not a "literary" agency, but a talent agency.
A lot of agents specifically say they don't represent screenplays. I was wondering if any of them do.
I think there are a few, but I don't know of a good way to search for it. (Like I said, I think most screenwriters are repped by talent agencies, not literary agencies.)
Most literary agencies have someone who deals with film and TV rights for their clients' books, but they don't usually represent screenplays too.
Well, there are some listed here: https://goodinaroom.com/blog/screenwriting-agents/
And here's a list of WGA (Writers Guild of America) signatory agencies: https://apps.wga.org/agency/agencylist.aspx (Linked to from the first list.)
Obviously, you'd need to research each one to make sure of track record, etc.

If those marked in green in the Index aren't what you're looking for, you might have better luck over at Done Deal: http://messageboard.donedealpro.com/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=9 They have stickied lists of agents, etc.
