Is there a way to search for a movie or person that starts with a specific letter? For example, if the user selects search movies, then selects the letter 'a', i would like to return a page with all the movies that begin with the letter a. Is this possible?

No, this is not really possible. Our search is completely phrase and term based so you will likely not get anything useful by only searching for a single letter. If you want something like this you'll probably have to bring the data in house and build your own search.
Cheers.
