He was first exposed to film and the arts through his parents, who were prominent figures in 20th century Cuban film.

His father, Miguel Fleitas Sr., was a painter and noted filmmaker who gained recognition for establishing the Cuban Institute of Arts and Industry Cinematography (Instituto Cubano de Artes e Industria Cinematografica; ICAIC) and served as its founding director.

His mother, Clarivel Suarez, was a lead production assistant in film for the ICAIC.
